Morphology

chemtrail = chemical + trail (transparent) = chem + trail

The sense explicitly refers to a trail believed to contain chemicals, so the meaning follows directly from 'chemical' + 'trail'.

Etymology

Chemtrail comes from chem- (short for 'chemical') and trail ('line left by a plane'), so the name gives a clear image: some people use it to say planes are leaving real chemicals in the sky.
