Got pretty long so stopped it there. The steam engines would run so long as the exhaust was open and the used portion could vent. When they were stopped they were completely drained in any kind of weather and they were warmed slowly by entering live steam into them. Drains were kept wide open until the noise became unbearable then closed a bit to ease the noise and increase the temps. Sometime the fireman would stay with the equip when it wasn`t operating to make sure it didn`t freeze up. The major problem would have been a frozen water system to supply the boiler supplying the steam to the engine or whatever tool being driven by the steam supply.
