For the Pennsylvania Railroad experts: I'd like to know if the locomotive pictured at https://archive.grundylibrary.org/items/show/3155 is in fact a PRR engine, as the photo's title indicates. I wasn't able to find mention of a PRR #1037 4-4-0 online. The website allows you to display a larger image, and then you can zoom in on that image. I didn't see any markings on the cab, tender, or passenger car.

There was a PRR #1037 4-4-0 that resembles the one in the photo. It was a class D7, designed to burn anthracite coal, built in Altoona in 1883 and scrapped in November of 1909.
When you zoom in the number right on the front is 1037. I don't know too much else about old photos like that one, but it is clear as day and not blurry as heck leaving people to speculate like some other photos. If there are any other pictures on the web of 1037, I'd say compare them just for fun.
