Answer:
Charley was quite an ordinary man from New York. One evening he reached the Grand Central Railway Station, New York, after a long day’s work in the office. This was what happened at the station:
He was in a hurry to get home. His wife Louisa was waiting for him.
Having found no train from the first level of the station, Charley went down to the second level.
While waiting for a train on the second level, Charley found a door and tunnel down.
Curious as he always was, Charley suspected it was a mysterious tunnel.
Following the tunnel, he took steps down and reached the third level of the station.
But, Grand Central has only two levels! How is this third level possible? Charley remained wondering. Wondering at the old fashioned train engines, at the hundred year old fashion, men with long mustache, women dressed in the old French style, a man pulling out his watch from pocket, gas lamps and spittoons…
From a newspaper, he learnt the time – 1895!
Charley knew one thing for sure – time traveling!
He had got into similar tunnels in the past – under Roosevelt Hotel, under Times Square…
In the past he had got into more such mysterious tunnels and caves but always a question remained without answer – why was he not able to go back to those places once again!
Anyway, now, in the third level of the Grand Central Station, he had not much time to ask questions – Louisa was waiting at home.
He went the ticket counter and asked for two tickets to Galesburg – the 1895 Galesburg or more clearly, a hundred years old Galesburg – where he was born.
When he paid the cash at the counter, the clerk suspected him for tendering fake currency. Threatened, Charley ran out of the third level and reached home.
