I know it isn't good form to mention other site, but if you ask the question on Lonelyplanet ThornTree Eastern Europe site,probably there will be more help.

you are in luck -- I just took the train from Prague to Krakow last month. Even first class, on an EC train, it was really cheap. I couldn't believe it, it cost me US$38 total, so second class would be cheaper, of course. <BR>Can't help you with the others, but that should give you an idea, probably. That was a total of about 8 hours trips, as I recall. I didn't do it in one trip, I stayed overnight down in Moravia in Olomouc (which is a rail juncture for the train going from Vienna to Krakow, which is why I did that, I did not want an overnight train). That was a good idea as that is a charming little town. I think it was about 3 hrs from Prague to Olomouc and then 5 hrs the next day from Olomouc to Krakow. The guy at the station told me my ticket from Prague to Krakow was good for a month, that I could stop anywhere on route during that time period.

Train from Salzburg via Linz to the little border town of Summerau cost ?21,80 for an ordinary ticket (www.oebb.at). Trains from Summerau via the Chech border town Homi Dvoriste to Ceske Budejovice four times a day. The Czech website www.vlak-bus.cz (also in English!) is excellent for trains and buses in the CR, including prices in Kc.

Go to the Eurail homepage and click on fares and schedules and that usually has the correct info in US dollars.

?? where do you find info on point to point tickets on the Eurail webpage (www.eurail.com)? As far as I can see, it only has the various railpass prices, which isn't surprising as that's what the Eurail company sells.
