robots slice railroad ties to make hardwood dancefloor corridors

there's a dancefloor stretching from coast to coast

have those railroad tie placing robots slice the ties then create a continuous wood dancefloor

not a robot link, Machines are available to do all the necessary track maintenance tasks: removing and inserting ties, tamping the ballast, cleaning the ballast, excavation and replacement of worn ballast, spiking rail, tightening bolts, and aligning the track. Some machines are equipped to perform more than one task http://www.britanni...icle-64411/railroad

The PDROY robot road would be handy for spontaneous clogging where a bar top is not available. [Amos Kito, Mar 11 2008]

       Railroad tie placing robots deserves a link. And clearly, the correct use for this resource is a coast to coast roller disco, not dance floor.

       [GPL], it would work if it's Riverdance [Link]. Or clog dancing [Other Link]. Since neither dance is a form of intercontinental transport, I agree that the road could become a coast to coast roller disco.   

       However, the conga line, being both travel and dance, fits the idea better.

       Creosote, present in most railroad ties to keep them bug free and resist weather, is not good for living things.   

       Wikipedia says "scrotal cancer", [linky] but i tend not to believe wiki specifics that involve funny words.   

       Were we short on dance floors? Or methods of making them?
