Yes, there is a use for this. There are some professional photographers of
railroads, who sell slides. Original slides of engines, trains, etc. The
problem is that for them to get inventory to sell, they have to take multiple
shots of the same engine. (Duplicated slides don't cut it) Since trains have a
habit of moving, to get a bunch of slides of an engine you have to take a bunch
of pictures at once,  very quickly. Set up your tripod, compose, focus, and
when the train arrives, crank up the motor drive. 
So, yes, there is a use. Limited, but it exists.
