engine houses
Train storage buildings
Engine houses are buildings that shelter engines or the vehicles they power.
Fire stations were traditionally called engine houses because they housed fire engines.
In mining and industrial contexts, engine houses contained stationary steam engines used to pump water or haul materials.
Railroad engine houses stored and serviced locomotives.
The old engine house has been converted to a museum.
