We study arrays of mechanical oscillators in the quantum domain and demonstrate how the motions of distant oscillators can be entangled without the need for control of individual oscillators and without a direct interaction between them. These oscillators are thought of as being members of an array of nano-electromechanical resonators with a voltage being applicable between neighbouring resonators. Sudden switching of the interaction results in a squeezing of the states of the mechanical oscillators, leading to an entanglement transport in chains of mechanical oscillators. We discuss the spatial dimensions, Q-factors, and temperatures that would be necessary to achieve entanglement in the canonical coordinates in such a scheme, and discuss decoherence mechanisms in some detail, and find a distinct robustness of the scheme under decoherence. We also briefly discuss the challenging aspect of detection of the generated entanglement.
