it was beautiful and kind of frightening. It seemed so close!

Remarks
I don’t understand how to tell you how many degrees Long the train was. I have about 110 inch wide window that I saw it from. The train probably covered about 30-40% of my viewing frame from the window for about two seconds. It was significantly long and was brightly glowing and it kind of looked like it had jagged edges like maybe some sparkles or something we’re coming off of it… kind of in the shape of a long leather. it was a bit wide. It wasn’t like a straight, skinny jet stream.
