Editing West Point, New York (section)

==Transportation==
[[U.S. Route 9W]], combined with [[New York State Route 218|NY Route 218]] run north-south through West Point. New York Route 293 also runs northeast-southwest through the post. Running through the lower portion of the town is [[U.S. Route 6]], combined with the upper extent of the [[Palisades Interstate Parkway]].

The [[New York Central Railroad]] well into the 1950s operated several passenger trains a day on the [[West Shore Railroad]] through the academy's Gothic style station; both the limited stop trains bound for Albany and the local trains to Newburgh and Kingston made stops at the station. Service finally ended in 1958.<ref>'Official Guide of the Railways,' December 1954, New York Central section, Table 80</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://nyc.railfan.net/ws-jk.html |title=Comments On The West Shore from James Knecht |website=Nyc.railfan.net |access-date=January 19, 2018 |archive-date=September 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180912001411/http://nyc.railfan.net/ws-jk.html |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |date=August 1949 |title=New York Central Railroad, Table 80 |journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=82 |issue=3}}</ref>
