Fox Chase is the terminus of SEPTA's R8 Fox Chase Regional Rail line. It is located just west of the intersection of Rhawn Street and Rockwell Avenue in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The station, which has the largest number of parking spaces of any on the line (342), is the closest regional rail stop to the neighborhoods of Fox Chase, Bustleton, and Pine Valley. It is also used by residents of Rockledge and Huntingdon Valley in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Before February 1983, service continued northward via RDC passenger trains to a terminus in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The crossing at Rhawn Street still exists, but bumpers prevent trains from crossing, and the signals and gates have become inoperable due to deterioration.

Service in the diesel-only territory north of Fox Chase was "temporarily suspended" in February 1983 due to SEPTA’s desire for all-electric rail operations (electrification was extended as far as Fox Chase station by the City of Philadelphia in 1966). There are no plans to reinstate service (a point of contention for residents in Bucks County insisting on the return of active service), and Fox Chase remains the official end of the Newtown line.
