Reynolds, Indiana was founded around 1854 and named after Benjamin Reynolds. The town has been an interchange point with several railroads. The crossing has changed names several times. The earliest noted name was the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburgh. That lasted until 1909 when it was replaced by the "Panhandle" or Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis in 1910. The Pennsylvania followed and in 1969 it became the Penn Central. Since 1971 it has been Toledo, Peoria and Western, Santa Fe and most recently the TP&W once again.
