Like all other locomotives of its time, the John Bull burnt wood. As this engine is a replica of the original John Bull, it too burns wood.

No longer operational due to new boiler laws. Status should be "Display."

In response to the second note:  The original "John Bull" was built as an 0-4-0 with no cab and an open-top tender.  At an unknown (to me) date the siderods were removed, leaving only the rear driving axle powered, and a 2-wheel pilot truck with a cowcatcher was added, the first such equipped locomotive in the United States.  Basically, the Whyte system just goes haywire trying to figure this one out.

This looks like a 2-4-0 to me...
