Lorne Creek is a creek in the Omineca Country region of west central British Columbia, which enters the Skeena River from the west.[1] Henry McDame discovered gold in this creek in 1884, leading to placer mining.[2]
At the creek mouth, the former mining hamlet of Lorne Creek in the Skeena region,[3] lying between Terrace and Hazleton, was by rail about 5 kilometres (3 mi) north of Dorreen and 19 kilometres (12 mi) south of Cedarvale.
The post office operated intermittently 1913–1927.[4] During this period, the place was an unofficial Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) flag stop.[5]
In 1940, when an embankment subsided, the locomotive, tender, and a freight car, of an eastbound train plunged about 9 metres (30 ft) into the raging creek, resulting in five deaths.[6]
