**Fellwick station** was a [SEPTA Regional Rail](/source/SEPTA_Regional_Rail) station in [Springfield Township](/source/Springfield_Township%2C_Montgomery_County%2C_Pennsylvania), [Montgomery County](/source/Montgomery_County%2C_Pennsylvania), [Pennsylvania](/source/Pennsylvania). Located near the intersection of Camp Hill and Walnut Avenue, Fellwick was a station on the [R5 Lansdale/Doylestown Line](/source/Lansdale%2FDoylestown_Line). Opened originally in 1855 as **Sandy Run**, Fellwick station was the site of the [Great Train Wreck of 1856](/source/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](/source/Camp_Hill%2C_Pennsylvania) 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.[2][6]
