Pierre is able to easily launch himself onto the side of the train. Using the latter as leverage he quickly situates himself and begins looking around for an open box car.

I wanted to see where you would go from here. or what you would do, so I'm leaving it open at this point.

Pierre holds on for a while looking for an open box car. Eventually he notices an open door three cars further down the train.
Spoiler:
Not sure how you want to get there, but ti will most likely involve athletics.

Blaise rides the train through the night. Passing through the small town without incident. Several hours latter the train stops at a freight yard. A jolting motion indicates that several more cars have been added, but no one comes to check the car that Blaise is resting in. Another hour or two passes before the first signs of daylight trickle into the car. It will soon be full light.

Blaise stays aboard, knowing the train is bound for a freight yard somewhere in Paris.

As the light rises, Pierre is treated to a beautiful view of the french scenery, through the slats on his rail car. As the train progresses closer to Paris, the number of roads, buildings and vehicles steadily increases.

As Blaise watches he sees a train signal indicating that the tracks have been switched. The indicated path is labeled as a Pairs bypass route.

The train begins to slow down expectantly, as Blaise looks out and forward he can see military vehicles ahead in the distance. They appear to be cargo vehicles and are parked next to the track.

Blaise jumps of the car in time to see that the train is stopping at the junction blocking both routes. Soldiers begin to load Cargo onto the train and themselves. The cargo send to consider if numerous crates the majority of which are large but shallow.

Blaise watches carefully, he sees nearly a full platoon of men board the train along with several cargo trucks full of crates and supplies As he watches he hears a twig snap. Glancing towards the sound he sees two German soldiers with their rifles slung moving in his direction. The face of one soldier is light up by the light of a cigarette. Elongated shadows created by the rising sun obscure much of the features and mask many of the details about the two figures.
Spoiler:
The lighting will give you +10 to any concealment checks, though it will only last for about 20 minutes as the sun rises.

The elongated shadows provide many locations of concealment. However as Blaise looks around he finds a low spot obscured by bushes large enough to slide into. The spot is ideal as it would provide both cover and camouflage. Slipping into the spot he listens to the guards. The tone of the conversation seems conversational, but without speaking German Blaise is unsure of the context. The two guards pause momentarily near his hiding spot before moving further on.

Fell free to narrate how long you wait and what you decide to do. If you want to move stealthily please roll a stealth skill check.

Fortunately the train is only delayed for 20 minutes. The sun has risen to the point of providing full daylight in the area. The soldiers dawdle for another twenty minutes before moving on. After the first encounter the foot patrol passed by Blaise's location twice more during that time, never seeming to notice his presence.

Blaise watches and waits, ten minutes pass before he heads the muffled sound of a distant explosion. Looking down the tracks he sees smoke rising into the sky.

Image "Merde!" Blaise says under his breath as he realizes he'll need to avoid the railroads now. "Merde, merde, merde." So much for going into the city unseen. He gives himself a good look to make sure his nurse's uniform looks presentable. Then he walks toward the nearest road heading into the city.

Blaise is easily able to identify the correct road and beings his long hike into the city. His travels in all take the entire day and he enters pairs only a couple hours before curfew.
