European Border Controls Return; Is the Schengen Free Movement Treaty Dead?

The Schengen Agreement represents a territory in Europe where the free movement of persons is guaranteed. 26 nations signed the treaty.
The signatory nations abolished internal borders in lieu of a single external border. Common rules and procedures apply to visas, asylum requests and border controls.
The treaty has been under pressure with a huge wave of migrants pouring into Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Italy, and Greece from Syria and other countries.
Last week I noted Denmark Cancels All Trains From Germany.
Today, reader Olivier pinged me with this comment “An Austrian rail company spokesman said trains from Austria to Germany have stopped running.”
Confirmation comes from Spiegel article Stopped Trains from Austria to Germany: Refugee Crisis. Trains were not stopped heading the other direction.
