Located near the intersection of Camp Hill and Walnut Avenue, Fellwick was a station on the [[Lansdale/Doylestown Line|R5 Lansdale/Doylestown Line]]. Opened originally in 1855 as '''Sandy Run''', Fellwick station was the site of the [[Great Train Wreck of 1856]], which claimed the lives of approximately 60 people. The station was renamed '''Camp Hill''' in March 1884, then changed to '''Sellwick''' on February 16, 1931 because the White Hill station in [[Camp Hill, Pennsylvania|Camp Hill]] was renamed Camp Hill. The station was later renamed Fellwick. SEPTA closed the station on November 10, 1996 as part of several service cuts due to low ridership; that year the station only averaged eight riders per day.<ref name=inq102596>{{cite news|last=Dougherty|first=Frank|title=Septa Board Cuts Service But Opposition Is Spirited|work=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|date=October 25, 1996|url=http://articles.philly.com/1996-10-25/news/25663717_1_septa-board-bus-routes-louis-gambaccini|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151018195548/http://articles.philly.com/1996-10-25/news/25663717_1_septa-board-bus-routes-louis-gambaccini|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 18, 2015|accessdate=May 9, 2016}}</ref><ref name=inq8996>{{cite news|last=Mooney|first=Erin|title=Septa Hears A Cry From Suburbs Bucks And Montco Residents Denounced Plans To Curtail Bus And Train Service.|work=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|date=August 9, 1996|url=http://articles.philly.com/1996-08-09/news/25646850_1_septa-officials-fellwick-bus-routes|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150926222020/http://articles.philly.com/1996-08-09/news/25646850_1_septa-officials-fellwick-bus-routes|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 26, 2015|accessdate=May 9, 2016}}</ref>
