Greetings fellow railfans! My name is George Cataulin, and I am the founder of Left Coast Rail Videos.  At the time I began recording trains and railroads back in October 2004 I did so for my own enjoyment.  I immediately began to enjoy the art of editing and producing DVD's just as much as I did recording.  That very same year, I began to sell my DVD's via Ebay and have since sold hundreds to customers worldwide, many of whom now buy from me on a regular basis.  LCRV is commited to providing you with top quality railroad DVD's at a low price. 
 
In May 2006, I came in contact with Curt Cruthirds, of Santa Barbara, Ca.  Like me, Curt enjoyed getting out and recording trains, and watching his footage at home.  It didn't take me long to realize that Curt did an amazing job, so I asked him to join LCRV and we've been moving full steam ahead ever since.  Curt joins me on several trips through the year, enabling us to record the action using not 1, not 2, but sometimes 3 or 4 trackside cameras.  On a few occasions, I have used Curt's footage exclusivly, such as the DVD's recorded back east.  In fact, ironic as it may be, my most popular  DVD to date, CSX Sandpatch, was shot by Curt!
 
Though not a major player within LCRV, we are proud to have Chris Bogley on board.  Chris is a photographer and thanks to being married to an officer in the US Army, Chris and his family do quite a bit of traveling and moving, allowing Chris to have photographed trains in 36 states since 2001.  He recently had an article published in Railroads Illustrated (July 2009) about his railfan adventures and Chris will be working on the first LCRV calendar due out next year for 2011.  Chris resides in Bowie, MD and volunteers often at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore.  Chris provides LCRV with photographs that we use on some of our DVD covers.
