Glowing train was split into two. Faded but still visible for at least 2 seconds. Laster longer but video clip didn't continue to record the fading train.

Brightest part of the event was a flash of about mag -6 to -8. It wasn't a terminal explosion because a fainter component continued along the track then faded.

Several fluctuations in brightness of negative magnitude preceded a very bright flash of about mag -6 to -8. This part remained stationary as a fainter component continued along the track then faded.
