Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Southeastern Avenue, English Avenue Part 1

This neighborhood is on the near southeast side of Indianapolis not far from Fountain Square. I took pictures of a stretch on Southeastern and English Avenue from Rural Street to State Avenue. The neighborhood is industrial in nature, and is a very old part of town with some history.

Oriental and Southeastern Avenue, looking toward Washington Street.


I could be mistaken, but I believe that Ivy Tech also uses this building for automotive training.


Detroit and Southeastern Avenue, there is a nice stretch of classic houses in this area.



Also at the intersection of Detroit and Southeastern.

Bates Avenue

These tracks follow Bates Avenue for a few blocks.

When I was taking pictures, I heard the groaning of a large diesel engine. I followed the noise and was able to get this train engine. It Looks to be a pretty new engine to me; most of the ones I see are faded, dented, or have graffitti on them.
