I think there's a marginal refutation of that in the CNN piece, in that having trains serving "flyover country" is good for them, because it's good for industry, and infrastructure brings money and jobs.
That aside, trains haven't stopped the Bavarians from consistently electing the center-right CSU, which has similar positions as our Republicans on immigration. Being German, they're all wary of hyper-patriotism.
