The Elizabethan Era, which is the same as the reign of Queen Elizabeth, lasted from 1558 to 1603.

Trains, presumably refering to steam trains, that being the first type of train to use any form of engine, came about in the early 1800, the first journey taking place on 21 February 1804. Thus, we can eaily see that no, there were no trains in the Elizabethan era.

Note, however, that there WERE tramways in Britain in the 1560s. These are the precursor to the railway. They, however, did not run on rails, and were powered either by horses or by manpower. Thus, they cannot be called trains.
