Whereas the two engine rooms were set on the frame opposite each other, the space provided an easy access to to engine compartment, especially since a crew would check the water level and oil level in each engine. They wouldn't have to walk as far. Since there was more tahn enough space on that long frame, it was not a problem to dedicate the space. IIRC, the electrical boxes were in that space also, partly protected form the weather.
