In  Germany, at least for regular tickets (I'm not sure about Eurrail) you
can get a reserved seat in either first or second class. I recall that the
price differential was significant between the two and my German friends
tell me that most Germans ride second class for that reason. Reservations
are made independently of ticket sales and cost around five marks. They
must be made a day or so in advance. Look for a "Reservierung" sign.
