The 12.36pm Scotrail service from Elgin to Inverness smashed into a vehicle at the Lower Cullernie level crossing on Tuesday at 1.36pm.
No one was injured but ScotRail services between Inverness and Aberdeen were subject to delays and alterations.
British Transport Police attended the scene to investigate and the force has now confirmed a man was arrested.

“I take this opportunity to remind people to be vigilant, remain alert, and always follow the rules when crossing the tracks.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
