| Remarks | I actually never saw the train disappear because the meteor dropped behind a plateau. The meteor itself was very bright green, and then I thought it was going to burn out, but it reignited in a slightly smaller size. The train was there for the entire duration. It appeared as if it did not burn out, but possibly hit the ground. |
