Well that's unfortunate. I lived in Germany in the '80s, and traveled by train all over the continent. Especially in Germany, France and northern countries there was no place I wanted to go that couldn't be conveniently reached by train, trolley, and bus; I don't think I often had to walk more than a mile or wait more than half an hour. And it didn't cost much either; the dollar was really strong at the time but I got six weeks of unlimited travel for a few hundred bucks.
