A British Transport Police representative said: "Sadly, the driver of the car, who is believed to be a 77-year-old local man, has died."
He said the man's name would not be released until a coroner opens an initial inquest into the death.
The collision happened on a farm track, which crosses a country estate.
Network Rail said the crossing was what it calls a "user-worked crossing", meaning anyone wanting to cross the line has to telephone for permission first.

Rail services in the area were affected as a result of the crash and rail replacement bus services were put in place.
