It might help you to think of it like the "train" of a wedding dress. I haven't looked it up, but such a train flows along the ground from behind, following along like a train.

Yes, I agree. I think the author of the reference you were reading was being a little poetic! 
I didn't mean to get you thinking about getting married (if you're not already so!), it was just the first practical example that came to mind.
All the Best.

Well, my friend in that sentence, it is just being described that the twin tail feathers of the quetzal grows so long that it seems like as long as a train. A train as we all know is so long, so it's described that way.
