It was amazing and mesmerizing to see this and I had no idea what I was watching! I had seen a short 4 bright flashes of a fireball in early summer at my home but nothing ever like this!

Remarks
It was a long white smoke looking trail but there were at least four streams around the center bright object then after it passed by me approximately 10 seconds after I saw 3-4 bright bright glowing balls , one was extremely bright! And they disappeared after about 10-15 seconds from when they appeared. The train continued to glow as I watched it travel North East for a ways!
