We're just strangers on the internet, so we're not in a position to look for your bag based on your description.
You can report your lost item to the Frankfurt Airport lost & found or Deutsche Bahn lost & found (covers the S-Bahn Rhein-Main as well) depending on where you think you lost it, or both if you're unsure. If it's turned in, they can match it to your report and contact you to arrange a way to get it to you. You'll likely have to pay some fees to claim it, as detailed on those pages.
If you have travel insurance, you can check to see whether this is covered under your policy, but this sort of loss may be excluded from coverage.

Answer 2
Based on personal experience: About one hour into a train journey from Berlin to Dresden, we noticed an expensive looking camera under one of the seats. We stopped the next conductor who told us they had already received a call and we’re looking for the camera. The camera went on the next train back to Berlin and would have arrived there probably 90 minutes later.
They may send the item to you by train for free, for example if the camera owner had gone from Berlin to another station, at their discretion and if you disclaim any responsibility.
