question to all:
I have been filming trains long before the Internet - when it was fun to take my 4 yr old out after work and chase trains thru Gilroy,CA,,,,most of my work was for fun and for him to watch on TV. I never thought there would be a rail-video.net. Most of my older stiff is VHS and 8mm video - hand held. Most of the stuff has slight hand movement - but I was pretty lucky where most of it is decent and viewable( many of my train vids are on video.google under my name- I uploaded just for fun there.) My main question - is I don't want to spend hours uploading videos that will get rejected for minimal hand-movement on windy days...what would your opinions be....? I have mid 80's Amtrak- a 4449 clip in San Jose- Oregon Steam train- many freights- Durango-Silverton- Tehachapi Loop & Mukilteo. Or, just upload and take my chances..?

I'd hope they would not expect perfection from older clips, much like the looser standard for older shots on RP. If it's something you can't see today, whether it's location or engines, I'd say upload and see what happens.
