Dimboola railway station is located on the Western standard gauge line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Dimboola, and opened on 1 July 1882.[1]
In 1980, boom barriers replaced hand-operated gates at the nearby High Street level crossing, in the up direction from the station.[2]
Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton.[3] In 1983, a signal panel was provided at the station.[1] It was abolished in 2010.[4]
A turntable, which was originally from Murtoa, was provided in 1988.[5]
Dimboola was the terminus for V/Line services from Spencer Street in Melbourne, until they were closed down on 21 August 1993.[6]
