An enginehouse at Middleton was built at the east end of the Middleton Railyard. The 88-foot long wooden engine house could accommodate three locomotives. Construction began in August 1916 by the DAR's Bridge and Building department, led by foreman H. Dalton. The enginehouse was completed around September 8, 1916. It was demolished in 1927, only lasting for ten years.
