HPTD 2-8-2 #1479 - High Point, Thomasville, & Denton RR  Contributor's Pick!       
Rare photo (very old reprint) of a good looking 2-8-2 Mikado for the High Point, Thomasville & Denton RR. With Jerry LaBoda's help (see comment below), the loco has been identified as a 1916 Lima built Mikado originally NYC #3979 but renumbered NYC 1479. The photo credit goes to Cappy.
