The Great Train Wreck of 1856 occurred in Whitemarsh Township, Pennsylvania, between Camp Hill station (formally know as Sandy Run, Camp Hill, Sellwick and finally Fellwick station before being closed in 1996) and Fort Washington station, on July 17, 1856. Two trains, traveling on the same track in converging directions, collided, killing between 59 and 67, and injuring over 100. The incident was referred to as The Camp Hill Disaster in Montgomery County, and The Picnic Train Tragedy in Philadelphia. It was the deadliest railroad catastrophe in the world up to that time and became one of the signature events of its era.

Fellwick station was a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Springfield Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Located near the intersection of Camp Hill and Walnut Avenue, Fellwick was a station on the 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 to Camp Hill in March 1884, then changed to Sellwick on February 16, 1931 because the White Hill station in Camp Hill was renamed to Camp Hill. The station was later renamed to 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.

Aside from a few hundred feet of track, the line to Conshohocken was abandoned by the RDG and Conrail in segments from the 1970s through the 1990s. The existing trackage was previously served by the Tank Car Corporation of America to store and rehabilitate railroad tank cars at their Oreland Mill Road property. Tank cars were buried underground to hold chemical waste from the fabrication, cleaning and painting of the working cars. The former site is currently undergoing a cleanup process being monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
