Confusion in Europe Travelling by TRAIN!

The Europass is split into two types - Single Country Pass or Multiple Country Pass. The Multiple Country pass is then split into another two types - Global or Select. Global means it can be used for all rail travel between the EU nations. Select is where you choose 3 to 5 bordering countries in the EU for your pass. For example, in my case, I live in Switzerland. With the Europass Select, I can jump on a train from Zurich heading to Paris and then in Paris jump on another train heading to Spain or Italy. I don't think you can use it for local trains - only for ones heading out of the country. For more info, you ought to check out www.raileurope.com It has a list of all the bordering countries combinations, which is probably what you were wondering about.
