The train was heading from Ipswich towards Lowestoft.
No one on the train was hurt and passengers remained on board until alternative arrangements were made to ensure they could carry on with their journey.
A spokesman for Greater Anglia confirmed that rail services had been disrupted and that they arranged alternative transport.
“We understand a vehicle is on the crossing,” he said. “We are now trying to organise replacement bus services.”
