UK Power Networks confirmed a number of homes were left without electricity after the wooden post was knocked down.
A resident who lives in Bury Road, a few hundred metres away from Crown Street, said his home had been left without power after the crash.
Both sides of the railway track in Crown Street have been closed, but Greater Anglia has not announced any impact to its services.
The road was closed off at the junction with Bond Street and Hamilton Way while the engineers lifted the post back into place.
