Equisetum telmateia subsp. braunii (giant horsetail)
Strange things are going on - on the other side of the tracks.
In the spring, horsetails produce these alien spore cones, technically called a strobilus. Horsetails are very ancient plants, the earliest ones go back to the Devonian, 380 million years ago. Land plants had just invented roots, leaves and seeds at this time and horsetails were right there at the beginning: Act 1, Scene 1. Equisetum telmateia has been accurately described as a 'living fossil'.
Horsetails have an interesting connection with the energy industry. In the Carboniferous period horsetails grew a hundred feet tall (30m) and those swamp forests produced over 90% of the world's coal deposits. As luck would have it, just as I was taking these photos, a CN freight train rumbled by with a hundred tanker cars of petroleum heading south. Of course oil is another type of fossil from Earth's ancient past. That's why they call it a fossil fuel.
