Pittsburgh & Lake Erie (Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Youghiogheny Railroad division of P&LE) building an extension onto their roundhouse at Newell PA in 1918. This was a common practice as locomotives got bigger, but we don't often see them actually being built. (Pittsburgh University)

Part of the roundhouse has been preserved, https://maps.app.goo.gl/roAEtNmyZAvw3BWf6
