The way the street I was on angles 45° multiple times may put my sight trajectory point more to the west if I was on the next straightaway to the north. I was dropping off a friend which I am unfamiliar with that neighborhood. Either I'm right about where I was looking or I was just 3-4 houses to the north just around that next slight bend which would put my line of sight 20° more towards the west......hope this misinformation ain't too misleading......I can direct location and angle if need be

Remarks
Train was as long as from when I noted I first saw it to when it disappeared. 2-3 seconds in It seemed to brighten slightly b4 breaking into 2 fireballs 1 being considerably smaller than the other but staying very close to each other and the train changed from streamline white to a (only way I can think to describe it) sparkly light yellow b4 disappearing.
