An Engine house is a building or other structure that holds one or more engines. It is often practical to bring engines together for common maintenance, as when train locomotives are brought together.
House-built engines, where the engine is the house. A house-built engine is a large beam engine where the engine house itself forms the frame of the engine.

In England, there are several notable engine houses:
Motive power depot, usually abbreviated to MPD, or railway depot is a term given to places where usually locomotives are housed when not being used, and also repaired and maintained. They were originally known as "running sheds", "engine sheds", or, for short, just sheds. Facilities are provided for refuelling and replenishing water, lubricating oil and grease and, for steam engines, disposal of the ash. There are often workshops for day to day repairs and maintenance, although locomotive building and major overhauls are usually carried out in the locomotive works.
The equivalent of such depots in German-speaking countries is the Bahnbetriebswerk or Bw which has similar functions, with major repairs and overhauls being carried out at Ausbesserungswerke. The number of these reduced drastically on the changeover from steam to diesel and electric traction and most modern Bw in Germany are specialised depots, often responsible for a single rail class.
The Engine House is an historic former fire station at Court and Spring Streets in downtown Auburn, Maine, USA. Built in 1879, it is one of the few surviving 19th-century fire stations in the state of Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Description and history
The former Auburn Engine House is located at the southeast corner of Spring and Court Streets, overlooking the city's central business district. It is a two-story rectangular brick structure, with a truncated hip roof and a granite foundation. A square wood-frame belfry rises from the western end of the flat section at the center of the roof. The north-facing front had four engine bays, the rightmost of which has been converted to a retail entrance; the other three retain their garage bay doors. Between the first and second bays from the left is a pedestrian entrance topped by a panel identifying the building. The second floor is relatively unmodified, with groups of windows (2-3-1-2) set under segmented brick arch panels, with granite sills and lintels. The cornice is lined with wooden brackets.
Only the faintest Only the faintest glance buries you, buries me So fire your engine See if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly Caught in a jet stream Caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise Use me forever Use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air, I'll be fire You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years What will you remember? What will you think of me after I say goodbye? Returning in bodies Plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoe less feet I know I love you like the slivered gold of dying days I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin I know I love you like the million times I never said I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
