RLI've seen a train laying its own track. Far quicker than doing it by hand. They're also used to maintain the track by looking for dips & humps & jiggling the ballast to level the track. Times have changed.

Are you talking about new track and not replacing track or cross ties?
They have maintenance equipment that lifts the rails, cuts the ties in half, pulls out the two cross tie pieces, then inserts a new cross tie and drives the spikes. That's pretty cool to watch.
I've never seen this lay new track, but I'm sure they have that. It's just not used much in the US.
