Yes, that's the one.  The original is on the LOC site.

Rupert,

 

Thanks for posting the ads.  Here's a photo from the Shorpy Collection --
perhaps the same one you referenced.

Thanks for this link. This photo was used by Erie Steam Shovel Co. to
advertise their ditchers in Railway Maintenance Engineer magazines at least
between 1919 and 1922. This one was used in 1920 (volume 16, April advert
Page 43) but your photo is very, very much better. 

Another photo showing 260 loading MWD-4 dump car 202660 is in the December
1922 volume 18 advert section page 25. This notes that the Burlington had
six of these Erie ditchers, and a photo of at least four of them
(presumably) being delivered on CB&Q flat cars is on the Library of Congress
site.

For those interested in M/W I just found a nice picture of a Q ditcher at
work
