io.lines takes an optional argument to represent which file it iterates. Since this file is in a different folder, use an absolute path, or a proper relative path. For instance, in Unix-like system, you can use "/some/path/Input/train.txt".

for line in io.lines("/some/path/Input/train.txt") do
    --print(line)
end
