All EU states still control their boarders, there are still boarder crossings etc.
Actually there aren't. You fly into any EU (or Schengen at least) airport and your passport is stamped. When you fly from one EU/Schengen airport to another, there is no passport control. You only go through passport control again when you leave the Schengen zone.

Same for train travel. Hope on a train in Frankfurt and head to Amsterdam or Paris and there are no border check points, etc.
