I was driving home from work I work nights. I thought it was a bright star at first. I keep looking at it and it got brighter and bigger. All the sudden it bolted leaving a bright trail. That when I could see smoke around the brightness. It all disappeared within a few seconds. It was breathtaking happy to witness it.

When the train was bright and lit up I could see smoke while it was lit up. When it disappeared I couldn’t see any left over smoke. It was dark outside tho.
