Brent, taking a look at your itinerary it seems that pass is rather useless thing, because point-to-point tickets can be much cheaper at the end. For instance Prague to Vienna is just 19 euro when bought in advance, Vienna to Salzburg is the same 19 euro or 25 euro with WestBahn train on the day of travel, Salzburg to Innsbruck can be as low as 9 euro only. Would recommend to check relevant country page here http://europetrainsguide.com, it will give you an idea about option in each country Regarding Krakow to Prague overnight, it seems that Polish rail company doesn't sell these tickets on-line via their website ( http://intercity.pl/en), so you left with the choice to either buy it via agencies (=risky plus they charge commission) or buy it when you already in Poland, doubt that everything would be sold out
