I Googled the initials and came up with this. Do you think it could have been I.P.& C. instead of P.P.&C.? This is talking about Miami County and the Indianapolis, Peru and Chicago line. Miami County is well supplied with railways, being traversed from east to west by the Detroit, Eel River &Illinois, the Toledo, Wabash &Western, and the Chicago division of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati &St. Louis Railway. The Indianapolis, Peru &Chicago runs through the county from north to south. This line was begun from Peru to Indianapolis, through surveys, in 1847, and completed to Peru August 17, 1854, being the first railway in the county. The next was the T.,W.&W., completed in 1856.
