Because the museum CAN operate the locomotive, you should change the status from display to operational.

The John Bull was the first engine to operate on the Camden & Amboy, and on its first train there it was derailed when it ran over and killed a wild hog.

The John Bull is indeed a 4-2-0.  Originally built as a 0-4-0, the lead driver was disconnected at the time the pilot was added.

This is the oldest locomotive that can run on it's own power.
