LEVEL crossing barriers got stuck in the upright position at Ardleigh.
Network Rail sent engineers out after it was alerted to the fault just after 10am today.
Trains between London Liverpool Street, Ipswich and Norwich were delayed by around 30 minutes until the problem was fixed.
They were still allowed to pass through the crossing but at reduced speed.
