A second train was also stopped as a result of the crash, with three Queensland Fire and Emergency crews working until midnight to help remove the wreckage of the car.
Passengers from both trains waited for a new train to collet them on the opposite track.
Firefighters reportedly used a makeshift bridge to get passengers onto the new train.
Queensland Rail said Gold Coast and Beenleigh lines were suspended between Banoon and Beenleigh and replaced by buses.
Services on the lines resumed about 5.30am on Sunday.
