Crab Orchard and Egyptian steam engine 17

After moving an empty piggyback flat into a storage track the engine will run light out to the piggyback ramp and pick up a couple loads. It is getting near noon time and it is also getting very hot. The air temperature is well over 100 degrees. I later got a chance to go up into the cab and it was even hotter there. I didn't stay in the cab long. I don't know how the crew was able to survive. Below is a closer look at one of the CO&E emblems on a piggyback trailer.
