I am writing a non-fiction book in which one of the primary persons leaves Lexington, Missouri in June 1937 for his commission at West Point. For him to arrive on the July 1 check-in date, he would have had to leave either Sunday June 27 or Monday June 28. One person gave me two routes - one direct from Lexington to St. Louis on the Missouri-Pacific, changing to the New York Central in St. Louis and then onto Albany, NY for transit to West Point. The second route went from Kansas City on the AT&SF to Chicago for the change to the New York Central and, again, Albany, NY for transit to West Point. I assumed Grand Central Station in New York City would have been the changeover for West Point, but...?
Many thanks for any and all information.
