Husband says the brown insulator was open wire for communications (ATT retiree) so they wouldn't ground out. The clear ones you didn't take were probably for turning a corner. He also said as a kid the orchard would dig a big hole and bury the dead trees in it and that the sinking holes may be from the buried trees.

Hey Chig, the brown ceramic insulator is called a "saddle top" it's late 1940's or newer if I'm remembering right. Some of them have a makers mark that looks like a faint ink stamp on the skirt area. The piece with 4 clear glass insulators is called a "span bracket" or "transposition bracket" probably made by Hemingray or Owens Corning. I'd grab them if it was me, they aren't particularly valuable, or rare, but still neat insulators.

The white porcelain insulator is a nice find but I wouldn't keep the brown. Porcelain started in 1950 so really new. My best one is purple and a green round top (CD 145). The turned mounting wood is collectible also.

Out in our orchard in Oregon you would never have found so many cans. Dad and Grandpa were ex-military, and nobody was allowed to throw down their junk anywhere. However, part of it is along a golf course and you could fill five gallon buckets full of golf balls. There was also said to be a old grave from pioneer days in one of the poplar wind-blocks, but nobody marked where it was, so it has never been found. Too bad about all of the nasty cans, but still it was a nice adventure and you always manage to make it interesting. That walk along the tracks sure brought back childhood memories. Also glad your friend John didn't get skunked.

The house I grew up in had a shed on the back part of the property that had a TON of glass insulators. Most of them were a clear super light teal-ish color. Never knew what they were until watching this. We just thought they were some strange pieces of junk that the previous owners left behind. There were at least 100, not including ones that were damaged.

the red band you found if memory serves me right s a seal they put on the latch of the doors of the train cars that is for when they have a full load, when they get to the destination they are supposed to be intact, if not there is an investigation to ensure nothing was stolen, was weird it was intact looped as you have to cut them off lol neat find :)
