The incident was reported at just after 7pm and the woman, believed to be 40-years-old, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Officers from the British Transport Police (BTP) and a crew from Ilford Fire Station also attended stopping trains in both directions.
A BTP spokeswoman said: “The incident is currently being treated as non suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
It is believed the woman is from the area.
Lines were handed back to Network Rail at 8.27pm.
The train involved was the 5.36 service from Clacton to Liverpool Street service.
