Original caption: "Fig. 8 -- Goodman 80-h.p. Rack Rail Locomotive Pulling 25-ton Trip Up 16 Per Cent Grade -- No. 11 Mine." This mine was located north of Marysville, Iowa and west of Bussey, Iowa. The locomotive uses the Morgan Rack combined third-rail and rack-traction system, and runs on 250-volt DC power at 80 horsepower on 36-inch gauge track. The man on the right is driving the locomotive; the other two men are standing behind it. This photograph was widely used in later Goodman Manufacturing Company advertising and it was used as a stock photo in articles about their mining machines.
