Do they have to be good locomotives to be liked by railfans?

Generally we're not the ones that have to work on them, so why not? Things like Baldwin Sharknoses weren't good locomotives according to what is generally said in books and places like Trains magazine, doesn't stop railfans, does it?

Have you tried TLC or Morning Sun Books? They've both published numerous NYC related books in the past decade or so.

Someone told me they saw what was apparently a train of subway cars with the name Metro on them. Any idea what these cars are for and where they're heading?

Thanks for any help.
