It does exist and the main office is in Indianapolis on Rockville Road.
They say they have no genealogical information. It's been about ten years

Albert T Junkins died yesterday afternoon at his residence on West Third
Street.Mr. Junkins has been a resident of Peru since infancy, and has always
had the respect and esteem of those who know him. For many years he has been
a locomotive engineer in the employ of the I.F. and C. Railway and it was in
the discharge of his duties as engineer that he contracted the diesease,
consumption, that has brought him to an early grave. He leaves a widow and
