For people travelling in Europe: The German railway company Deutsche Bahn has the most complete set of international train schedules in their system. This makes it a great resource to search for international connections. Once I even saw Hungarian railway employees use www.bahn.de to look up their own connections.

French train traveler here. I concur. I use them to travel from France to Italy through Germany and Austria. bahn.de is a great resource and so is their Android app. Even in France, I sometimes use their schedules rather than the local ones, because they give me every single train station a train is going to stop at, which is useful information you don't get everywhere.

Take a step back when booking, though. It can suggest trips with tens of connections without taking delays into account (and it's rare, if not impossible, to not have some delay with that many connections).

Using bahn.de as a first search for trans-european trips. For more details then head to seat61.com
