Pacific is a railway point in the Skeena region of west central British Columbia.
[4] He sold most of his land to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) and the balance to Charles William Digby Clifford.
In early February 1912, the eastward advance of the GTP rail head from Prince Rupert passed through this point[6] and reached Mile 123.
[15] In 1920, a new roadmaster's office was completed[16] and train crew runs were shortened to terminate at Pacific.
[17] In 1922, while attempting to board an eastbound Canadian National Railway (CN) freight train, a freighthopper slipped beneath the wheels, which ran over his legs.
[23] In 1947, the bridge and building foreman suffered fatal injuries when thrown from a speeder, which struck a fallen rock just west of Dorreen.
[24] In 1950, one of the largest dynamite blasts in BC at the time occurred when 55,600 kilograms (122,500 lb) of explosives were detonated at the CN pit to produce rock for grade construction.
All that remains of the structure are a concrete foundation, loose discarded bricks, and some railway track.
[27] A trackside signpost marks the Pacific flag stop for Via Rail's Jasper–Prince Rupert train.
[29] After the divisional point moved, the remaining residents largely departed Pacific, leaving the buildings vacant.
Within a few years, the remnants of the community hall, general store and Nicholl Hotel were either collapsed or burned timber, and the schoolhouse was barely standing.
[45] The creek is a 23-kilometre (14 mi) swift mountain stream, which enters the Skeena from the east, across the river from Pacific.
The dense vegetation and rugged topography made the limited early mining activity arduous.
During the mid-1910s, about 6 kilometres (4 mi) of good trail was built, which could handle ore sleighs during winter.
