Overview
Serviceton is a town in rural western Victoria, Australia. It is near the Victorian–South Australian border, 437 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Named after James Service, who was Premier of Victoria in 1880 and from 1883 to 1886, it was established when the inter-colonial railway line between Adelaide and Melbourne was completed in 1887. The railway station served as the change-over point for train crews and locomotives of the Victorian Railways and South Australian Railways.
