How did Charley feel that he was neither on the first level nor on the second level but on the third level?
Answers

There Charley glimpses a very small Currier and Ives Locomotive with a funnel-shaped stack. There the tickets are available in old currency. Charley returns and arranges for the old-style bills.
Answer:
Explanation:
The third level is a psychological story that deals with the journey of the narrator to the past written by an American author, Jack Finney.
Charley one day while hurring home decided to take the subway from Grand central because it was faster than the bus. He gets lost in the labryinth of tunnels underground in the central station. He eventually finds himself in the third level of the Grand central station.
The third level was different from the first and second levels. The room was smaller, there were only a few train gates and ticket windows, and the information booth was old looking and made of wood. Moreover, the man in the booth wore green eyeshades and black sleeve protectors.
The attire and behaviour of the people in the third level were utterly different. The lights in the room were dim and looked old fashioned. They were open flame gaslights. On the floor there were brass spittons and the narrator caught sight of a person pulling a gold watch from his vest pocket. The person was clothed in a black four button suit with small lapels and a derby hat.
The narrator looked around and saw everyone was dressed in a similar way. Women wore dresses with leg of mutton sleeves and skirts with high buttoned shoes. Men had facy mustaches and beards. He also caugh a glimpse of a very small Currier and Ives Locomotive with a funnel shaped stack.
His suspicions were confirmed when he walked over to a newspaper boy and glanced at the newspaper. It was The World which hadn't been published for years and the date printed on it was June 11, 1894. Thus the narrator was convinced that he had time travelled and was on the third level of the grand central station.
