E-visa isn't valid for trains, unfortunately. Official reason - no mobile scanners available, as the border check is done right on the train. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, as basically the same system was operational during the FIFA World Cup 2018.
There are plenty of bus options available. And even a unique option to cross the border on foot. :-D Cheers from Kaliningrad. Let me know if you need any help with information on visiting Kaliningrad.
p.s. Maybe the upcoming UEFA Euro 2020 will make some positive changes in this matter. Or recently announced plans to expand this e-visa scheme for all Russian Territory in 2021.

No, you cannot enter Kaliningrad by train, as the only operational railway checkpoint (Chernyshevskoye) is not listed as an approved port of entry.
RZD has no say in this, and so no authority to allow or prohibit it.
So you need to enter by air or bus/car
