Stephenville Crossing (2001 population: 1,950) is a Canadian town in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador on the island of Newfoundland. The town is located at the easternmost limit of Bay St. George. ==History== The settlement derives its name from the Newfoundland Railway, which ran through the community on its way from Port aux Basques to Corner Brook. The Hanson Memorial Highway was constructed by the United States Army Air Forces to link the railway line at Stephenville Crossing with Harmon Field, under construction on the other side of a hill to the north in Stephenville. Later, the USAAF built its own railway line from Stephenville Crossing to Stephenville. Since the air base was constructed, Stephenville Crossing has functioned more or less as a suburb of Stephenville. The 1988 abandonment of the railway in Newfoundland by CN resulted in the last train running through Stephenville Crossing to St. George's (return) on June 6, 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephenville Crossing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
