Yes they ran like railroad engines in all kinds of weather. When train was not running the engine still had to be fired up to keep warm. If let cool off, seams and such could shrink and cause all kinds of problems and leaks. My dad fire-maned out of Omaha about 1905.
In the case of like a threaser engine In cold weather I would think they kept it warm cause it would take a while to get up steam from a cold start. would have to drain every thing at end of season. I grew up with water in car radiators and let me tell you that was a problem.
