Springhill Junction

Springhill Junction is a rural community in central Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

It is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northwest of Springhill, Nova Scotia.

In 1872 the Intercolonial Railway of Canada constructed its Truro, NS-Moncton, NB mainline through the area at the persuasion of the Spring Hill & Parrsborough Coal & Railway Company Ltd., creating a diversion several miles to the south of the preferred route running between Oxford Junction, NS and Amherst, NS.

The SP&P changed its name to the Cumberland Railway & Coal Company Ltd. in 1884 and operated under this name through the closure of the coal mines in Springhill in 1958 and the abandonment of the railway line south of Southampton to Parrsboro on June 14, 1958.

The official name still contains the word "junction", despite the fact that the CR&C was abandoned in 1962, making the community a run-through location on CN's mainline.
