I believe it is currently off. There is bus transport between the two cities, I believe that currently the bus is your only choice. But just for fun here is a link to Russian railways, RZD http://eng.rzd.ru/isvp/public/rzdeng?STRUCTURE_ID=4068

I've been on that train. Looking at RZD you'll notice there is a Russian language option. Russia is terrible about translating website information, they just throw in parts of it in English and leave the rest forgotten. (Aeroflot is the worst). If you read Russian, ping the Russian language button on RZD. But there is still no train between Tallinn and St. Petersburg currently.

It does still exist however....(which doesn't help you at all). Here's another link for trains from Estonia: http://www.expresstorussia.com/tallinn-moscow-train.html#23TR Good website, but still no train to St. Petersburg.
