Within the linked article appearing in today's Wall Street Journal, there is a photo showing Middle East refugees boarding an Austrian RailJet train at Budapest. The caption states that the train is only bound for the Austrian frontier:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/train-from-hungary-to-austria-is-packed-with-stories-of-hardship-and-danger-on-migrant-trail-1441622893

I'd rather guess that this RJ is bound for Munich.

Wow, all I can say is just as glad I did my overseas trip (Aug 10-17) before this crisis broke. How long can Salzburg continue to be its "picture postcard" self (even if filmed 50 years ago, little has changed since "The Sound of Music") with this inflow. Sooner or later, Germany is going to say "enough" and the refugees will learn that Austria's unemployment rate is lower than that of Germany.

No, they've been stopping them, and there's a kerfluffle. Check NPRs story files from Thursday/Friday

I would presume Mr. Pullman is addressing this NPR reportage, as well as similar reports:
