Dimboola railway station is located on the Western standard gauge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Dimboola.[1]

History

The station was the terminus for V/Line services from Spencer Street in Melbourne, until these services were withdrawn on 21 August 1993.[2]

Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton.[3]

Boom barriers were provided at the nearby High Street level crossing in 1980, replacing hand operated gates.[4]

A turntable, which was originally from Murtoa, was provided in 1988.[5]
