Hi Ron… @ 5:38🦅 this is definitely a sign from your Dad…!!! No doubt in my mind about it Ron… There are many ways our loved ones let us know they are still with us & watching over us. The way the Eagle flew by was definitely on purpose to make sure You and Ethan saw it…!!! Nice to see all the guys on the job with you too… Great video on all fronts...!
I’ve watched you clean up lots of accidents through the years. This is one of those where I find myself saying “ok Ron, how you gonna clean this one up?” Trailer with no wheels and grain everywhere.. Y’all never disappoint.. 👊🏼👍🏼
Hi Ron. My wife and I watch our 3 year old grandson Ezekiel 2 days a week. He sat on my lap and watched this video and enjoyed it. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
Hoping the train crew was OK too. It's quite an helpless experience hitting someone at a crossing when you know there's nothing you can do to stop it or avoid it. Stay safe out there Ron and crew!
The Driver has to be the luckiest Semi Drive alive i am shocked the Train did not grab hold of that Semi and drag it down the Tracks for a half a mile plus there was no RR Crossing signs and warning lights ???? what the heck is that all about .. Great Video Mr Ron
Well, at least you didn't have to make a meal of that job!! Yes, I know, that comment is a bit corny!!! Thing is, that was another fine mess you've gotten someone out of. As you rightly say, the train always wins. There's simply too much momentum for the train to stop 'on a dime'! Another fine piece of teamwork Ron and crew! Greetings from the UK and God bless.
I can see how that happened. That is a dangerous intersection for a hopper bottom for so many reasons. It's always interesting to see what you'll get into next. It was awesome to see your dad send an eagle flyover. I know you are all missing him. Please stay safe, and God bless.
That's one accident you don't want to happen. A train is always going to be bigger and heavier compared to anything, but accidents do happen, tho. You guys did another amazing job, Ron. God Bless you guys in all that you do.
The angle irons have been in use for many years and are very useful to have. Most of the time it's normally aluminium and way back some was in steel, i see those are the new ones.
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & I Am Still Praying For You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff As Well & All Of The People Involved In The Automobile Accident
This is definitely a PSA for being careful around railroad tracks. The forces to rip the axles off and that wheel are pretty significant. Like you said, trains always win..
Ron that was a lot of corn the deer will be eating good. The recovery went well still good thought and wishes all that were in the recovery God bless. 🙏🙏
As a train driver (not in the USA), please, please, always be careful near crossings. Not only are you risking your own life, but we also often suffer especially psychological trauma and stress after such an accident, especially if someone dies. Trust me, it's not worth risking your life, I have seen some really bad wrecks before with multiple fatalities, so just stop if the gates are down and if there are no gates look left and right multiple times to make sure no train is approaching! Especially long cargo trains have an incredibly long braking distance.
There is this tow company out of Oregon that bought a set of tandems off of a trailer. . He said he is going to put a steel plate with three reinforced holes to have the ability to have four corner posts. He said he will use it to tow a trailer by the fifth wheel or put it at the back of a trailer that has lost all or most of it's wheels.
All that corn just laying there on the ground is going to be a big feast for the deer & turkeys. It’s going to be a great thanksgiving dinner for the folks who live in area.😀🦌
Mam that's a nasty accident, thank God the truck driver came out without any injuries and the train didn't go off rail. The trailer wheel set got ripped off like ripping a page from a book, damn!! Power of a big goods train.
Im glad nobody was injured that gad to be a horrible feeling for the engineer and conductor knowing they couldn't stop in time. Im always very cautious when driving over RR crossings especially unsigned crossings
Another idea is to have the slings on the hook first one person on each side to bring the slings to the landing gear to hookup then use the cross bar for the rear .
Hey ron its bo again. Just wanting to say that i have personally been involved in 2 wrecks with 2 seperate pickups. First one i hit a guard rail to avoid a deer and second i was driving a bit too fast on a wet road that was curvy, back end swung put and wound up facing the way i was coming from against some trees. Needless to say, very lucky no airbags went off on both wrecks and only damages to trucks. The first wreck i got the right front tire of my toyota tacoma 2019 under the guard rail and took put bout 4 of the posts. They are still there and not attached to the guard rail any more. Typical ardot work. Lessons have been learned on rain and deer. I feel like god was truely with me these past 3 years during my wrecks and vehicle breakdowns. If you want to contact me feel free do respond bacl to this and id be more than glad to send a few pictures of the scene from the truck vs guard rail incident. Also i am 18 and have learned alot and still have alot to learn. Yes i was young and dumb. But arent we all at some point. Just glad god was with me this whole time.
Wow God was watching over and protecting him. Looked like he ‘almost’ made it - but never a good idea to try to outrun a train. Great teamwork amongst everyone on scene. Thankfully your ‘arc’ nemesis was on the other side of the road on this one.
It never ceases to amaze me how often people think they can beat a train.. but then was this a crossing with a warning? out in the sticks many have limited warnings or signals of an oncoming train and you may not always hear a horn
Well, the local deer and hogs are going to enjoy all that free corn. Quick someone set up a blind! BTW Ron, if you've got someone to spare at the yard, instead of just sending those leaf springs to the junk yard, I'd suggest having them be removed as well as any other leaf springs from other vehicles you might have that are just going to be crushed. Leaf spring steel is highly sought after by knife makers and you can probably sell them for a lot more than scrap value separately. :D I love it when we have the same thought. (talking about the deer) You might want to take a grinder with a flap wheel and bevel the edges on those protectors/round them over so that it's easier to slide the straps over the edge without them getting caught. It'll likely break off the edge at some point but it'll be a lot nicer until then. I would've suggested to break out the saw and cut that tail piece off that trailer and just huck it in the trailer to get it out of the way. Either that or let the fire crew fire up the jaws of life and play.... cut it off for you.
Hey ron, got a subscriber from arkansas here. Amazing videos you do. Would love to see more code 3 responses and more of you driving to the scenes. Hope everyone was good and hope yall were ok from the storms this past monday and tuesday. Had tornados here in arkansas that caused damages. Storms caused alot of wrecks including some semi wrecks that were bad. Had interstate closed for a few hours in the pouring rain due to one catching fire.
I seen one of our drivers get hit by a train thank God he wasnt hurt lost his job but he was ok and it hit him right in the passenger door of an international pro star
When racing a train to the crossing, remember that horseshoes and handgrenades being close is the only thing that counts. The driver was fortunate that he only destroyed the trailer...
I'm glad no one was hurt, except that truckers pride. I know I shouldn't say this but, that's why there are safety labels on things. Since the running of this video, there has been multiple trains, meaning that is a main line. Any local would know this, and trains have schedules. especially those trains. Ron, surprised to not see you chain the axles. Anyhow, GREAT video showing team efforts from everyone.
@Ron Pratt it would make my day if you respond to this. I love seeing all your uploads every Friday, loved seeing Talon in the video. How are your grandchilds do you have anymore on the way? Also where Mike miss seeing him in your videos. Thank you for your service and stay safe. GOD BLESS!!
Who else loves this channel?
How can anyone not love it???
I have been a big fan of Ron's channel for a couple years
Hi Ron… @ 5:38🦅 this is definitely a sign from your Dad…!!! No doubt in my mind about it Ron… There are many ways our loved ones let us know they are still with us & watching over us. The way the Eagle flew by was definitely on purpose to make sure You and Ethan saw it…!!! Nice to see all the guys on the job with you too… Great video on all fronts...!
The fact that first full sentence Ron said on scene was to check on the driver, is the definition of a Class act.
This is why I love this channel Ron's first thought is always the victim of the wreck and his utmost love of God
Im trucker thanks for being there .we all make mistakes .its someone like you that help us out. THANKS AGAIN
That New guy Terry seems like a great asset to the Crew
I’ve watched you clean up lots of accidents through the years. This is one of those where I find myself saying “ok Ron, how you gonna clean this one up?” Trailer with no wheels and grain everywhere.. Y’all never disappoint.. 👊🏼👍🏼
And with no saws to boot!!! WOW!!!
Every time Ron mentions Terry, I’m just waiting for him to yell “Put it in reverse terry! Oh lawd Terry!”
Ron provides more than one grain of truth in everything he says and does. Thousands of them in this instance. :)
I don't think Ethan quite thought removing that protector through. Glad no one was injured. What a mess!
Hi Ron.
My wife and I watch our 3 year old grandson Ezekiel 2 days a week. He sat on my lap and watched this video and enjoyed it.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Ron,as always you and your guys are always funny and professional on the recovery and always good seeing Talon on the video again God bless you guy
A challenging job. Your team worked it expertly, and efficiently. Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe and healthy.
Hoping the train crew was OK too. It's quite an helpless experience hitting someone at a crossing when you know there's nothing you can do to stop it or avoid it.
Stay safe out there Ron and crew!
Good to see Talon again! I bet he’s glad to get out of the office once in a while! 😉
You got a mess.. nice TEAM... This is GREAT..
The Driver has to be the luckiest Semi Drive alive i am shocked the Train did not grab hold of that Semi and drag it down the Tracks for a half a mile plus there was no RR Crossing signs and warning lights ???? what the heck is that all about .. Great Video Mr Ron

Talk about a "corny"recovery 😂😂...glad everyone is ok . could've been much worse....ok .I'm done...back to the video 😂
This is definitely a PSA for being careful around railroad tracks. The forces to rip the axles off and that wheel are pretty significant.
Like you said, trains always win..
Another great job done by you all.
Ron, you and your team are such a pleasure watching you work you all work really well together well done
Btw sorry everyone in the comment section for me rambling on. Just wanted ron to know im here and thst he truely inspires me and god is with me always
Ron that was a lot of corn the deer will be eating good. The recovery went well still good thought and wishes all that were in the recovery God bless. 🙏🙏
greetings from the UK. keep up the good work Ron, i always enjoy your videos.

U are definitely right the trailer always loses and that is one hell of a mess cleanup
Sad for the driver’s loss of revenue and perhaps lively hood. 🇨🇦
That’s what insurance is for
Love the shovel against the trailer. 😂
Looks like the birds will enjoy a good feast
Train’s always win they have no way of stopping as quickly as road vehicles.
It's so nice to see all the team work. Praise the l9rd everything went good
There is this tow company out of Oregon that bought a set of tandems off of a trailer. . He said he is going to put a steel plate with three reinforced holes to have the ability to have four corner posts. He said he will use it to tow a trailer by the fifth wheel or put it at the back of a trailer that has lost all or most of it's wheels.
Guess he learned he wasn't quite as quick s he thought. Luckily he wasn't injured...
Even this was an accident, this was interesting to watch for me particularly because it involved train, that is big point of interest to me
All that corn just laying there on the ground is going to be a big feast for the deer & turkeys. It’s going to be a great thanksgiving dinner for the folks who live in area.😀🦌
Vary good teacher
Another great video Ron mate great Job 👍 👌
Scary!
Gonna be some car-deer interactions once the deer get a sniff of the leftover corn.
I watch your video all the time I see another of devotional from the men
1st and always love a Ron Pratt video, wish there was more!
23:19 Ron Pratt the railfan 😆
Mam that's a nasty accident, thank God the truck driver came out without any injuries and the train didn't go off rail. The trailer wheel set got ripped off like ripping a page from a book, damn!! Power of a big goods train.
Deer, ducks and turkeys will be having a good meal tonight!
Glad everyone was ok god bless to them
Train versus vehicle collision is never fun. Particularly when a train takes over a mile to stop. Glad everyone is OK.
Great Video! Stay safe out there!
I work as a conductor for UP and it’s scary out there. People do crazy things in front of trains. That train crew will be off for three days now.
Wow..some feast for the deer.
These type of crossing (crossbuck/private types) are more prone to accidents, because they have no gates or lights.
Im glad nobody was injured that gad to be a horrible feeling for the engineer and conductor knowing they couldn't stop in time. Im always very cautious when driving over RR crossings especially unsigned crossings
Wow! No nemesis today Ron🤪🫣🙈👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🇬🇧
Another idea is to have the slings on the hook first one person on each side to bring the slings to the landing gear to hookup then use the cross bar for the rear .
I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks
how many calls have you responded too rolling code 3 that involve vehicles being hit by trains?
Trains ALWAYS win. I am surprised the train stopped as soon as it did, it must not have been traveling at 45 or above.
Man, What a mess!! At least you didn't have your "arc " enemy to woeey BOUT.
I would love to see the video of wrapping Ethan! LOL

Atleast we know where the deer party will be.
Well at least your arc nemisis is far enough away so you don't have to worry about them
BOM DIA VIDIO SHOW DE BOLA TOP MARCOS SP CAPITAL BRASIL❤
Hey ron, got a subscriber from arkansas here. Amazing videos you do. Would love to see more code 3 responses and more of you driving to the scenes. Hope everyone was good and hope yall were ok from the storms this past monday and tuesday. Had tornados here in arkansas that caused damages. Storms caused alot of wrecks including some semi wrecks that were bad. Had interstate closed for a few hours in the pouring rain due to one catching fire.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
Good morning Ron And Ethan.
I seen one of our drivers get hit by a train thank God he wasnt hurt lost his job but he was ok and it hit him right in the passenger door of an international pro star
At least the power lines were on the other side of the road this time.
Wow ron it smoked that trailer
Thumbs up great video, yea,deer will eat like kings,
Thanks for your great works Eng Ron. May I know the max lifting capacity of that truck please?! If you don't mind.. The boom surprises me always..
Hi how are you my dear friend how is your family ❤ Stay blessed stay safe keep smiling 😊 love from India ❤❤
When racing a train to the crossing, remember that horseshoes and handgrenades being close is the only thing that counts. The driver was fortunate that he only destroyed the trailer...
Had to show the opossum 😂 rip lil buddy
Grain vacuum time!
Hold my beer! We'll make it no problem.
Holy Trainolar bars Batman that's 1 heck of a mess lol
The deer will think Thanksgiving came early
Yup, the train always wins.
Yep, train certainly won that fight. Hopefully you grabbed the run away wheel.
I'm glad no one was hurt, except that truckers pride.
I know I shouldn't say this but, that's why there are safety labels on things. Since the running of this video, there has been multiple trains, meaning that is a main line. Any local would know this, and trains have schedules. especially those trains.
Ron, surprised to not see you chain the axles. Anyhow, GREAT video showing team efforts from everyone.
Freight Trains don't have schedules
That was one long ass train
You know the plus side of this job was, the Arc Nemesis was on the other side of the road.
Watched
Hey Ron Pratt do y'all still have the 35-ton Western Star cuz I haven’t seen it since u got the 50-ton
There are a lot of truck vs train accidents in america!
Especially if it's a tie in the race to a crossing, the train still wins.
That's a lot of train traffic. Really like the videos Ronald. I would watch every day if you filmed everyday. Hope someone got em a deer from this.
❤
Train won, trailer lost, driver lost, grain owner lost. Deer and other critters extremely appreciative.
@Ron Pratt it would make my day if you respond to this. I love seeing all your uploads every Friday, loved seeing Talon in the video. How are your grandchilds do you have anymore on the way? Also where Mike miss seeing him in your videos. Thank you for your service and stay safe. GOD BLESS!!
Mike left a while ago to work in and help out his family business.
