A visit to this small Western Maryland city in the United States really can be like a trip back in time, and not just because you can ride on a train pulled by a working steam locomotive.

That acclaimed attraction, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, is what drew us to take our eight-year-old son on a trip earlier this month. We arrived on a Thursday so we could make some of the Downtown Cumberland Farmers Market that also sets up on Saturdays.
