Star Trek
I deleted the phrase "terminology used in the original pilot of Star Trek." The original Star Trek pilot (and Star Trek: The Next Generation) referred to the first officer on a starship as "Number One". This is based on British naval traditions. However, there was no "Number Two", "Number Three", or any other sequential series of officer numbers. As such, the reference in this article makes no sense.
- What does Star Trek have to do with Gemco?
- Nothing at all. An earlier version of the article claimed that "the assistant manager was called "Number 2" - terminology used in the original pilot of Star Trek." This was incorrect, was removed, and the above simply discussed why. Randy.holland (talk) 14:22, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Gemco Map Location
The location referred to in the article is a Southern Pacific Railroad (now Metrolink) 'station'. No station in the conventional sense exists there, rather it is the location of a small rail yard that once served the now-defunct General Motors plant at that location, hence the name. The Gemco name is mentioned in the Southern Pacific Western Region Timetable 1, effective April 14, 1996 on page 86 LorenzoB (talk) 19:39, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Gemco is not a "ficticious town" or "copyright trap". It is a real location on the Union Pacific (formerly Southern Pacific) Railroad as explained by LorenzoB. The right-of-way is owned by LACMTA on behalf of Metrolink. Freight operations are still conducted by Union Pacific. Therefore, the section mentioning a ficticious town should be deleted. -MB [[[Special:Contributions/76.174.194.2|76.174.194.2]] (talk) 02:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)]
