Observation Yes
Remarks It dissolved. Right before it left my field of vision, the fireball almost dissolved. It broke into many white pieces before burning up in the atmosphere. Then there was also a little bit of fragmentation as the fireball was moving that entered the train for a fraction of a second before disappearing.
