I'm thinking along the same lines with regards to traveling by train through Europe. In my case, I will be leaving for a cross Africa trip Atlantic route around the 1'st of November. To be honest I am not looking forward to driving through the european high passes at that time of year on a fully loaded bike. And besides, Europe is just a "bump on the road" enroute to my REAL trip, which is Africa.
I leave from Denmark but cannot get on a car-train before Hamburg. And the furthest south that goes is southern France. Also, the last car-train leaves on 28'th of October. Then they close down for the season. Due to my work situation that may be too early for me to get on. So I may be forced to driving some very cold boring hours on danish, german, french and spanish highways. You can check out Deutche Bundesbahn website here :
DB-Konzern - Startseite They have an english option. Maybe there's something you can use for your specific trip.
I'm sure there are some exciting things to see in Europe and also some interesting and fun roads. I'll check those out next year. For now, Europe is just something I need to get through before my real trip starts.
