My Indian visa says I will enter the country “by airâ€. Can I still use it to enter by train?

I am from Bangladesh. I have been granted a visa to go to India. On the visa, it is noted that I would enter the country "by air." Am I also also to travel via train?

No, you aren't allowed to enter India by train if your didn't explicitly make a request for the same during your visa application.
Please review the visa requirements for Maitree Express. This page is available in both English and Bangla.
I've also reproduced the relevant section here for reference -
Visa requirement
A valid passport and visa are required to travel by Maitree Express.
To travel by Maitree Express the passenger has to choose one of the
following options in the online visa form:
By Rail Gede
By Rail Gede/By Air
By Rail Gede / By Road Haridaspur
Passport and visa have to be
shown at the ticket counter at the time of purchase and a copy of the
same is to be submitted.

It would rather surprise me if "by air" was only added to confuse :)

+1 To add to this answer, while applying for visa from Bangladesh, applicants must choose the port f entry. The drop-down menu is something like this. There are distinct categories "By Air" and "By rail Gede/By Air". Thus unless the applicant has chosen "By Rail gede/By Air" and ot the simple "By Air", he cannot take the Maitree express.
