Both lanes on Annerley Road were expected to be closed at Dutton Park on Friday afternoon while authorities righted the truck from the crash.
The single-vehicle accident happened about 9.30am, causing traffic delays for the next few hours.
Police were still on the scene at noon, urging drivers to avoid the area.
The vehicle appeared to be an Allied Mills truck, a company that manufactures flour and other bakery mixes. A white powder could be seen spilled on Annerley Road in the accident.
A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokeswoman said a crew was on scene assisting Queensland Rail and council after helping the truck driver out of his vehicle.
"The truck's load had spilt across the train lines, it appears to be either wheat or flour," she said.
"We are currently waiting to be called to action to assist to right the truck while the contents of the truck is being removed."
Queensland Rail said owing to the incident requiring emergency services, trains were suspended through Dutton Park station.
"Trains are continuing to run express between Park Road and Fairfield stations, with shuttle buses arranged to convey Dutton Park station customers between Park Road, Dutton Park and Fairfield," it said.
TransLink also reported the Central to Varsity Lakes train had been delayed by almost 20 minutes.
Lane closures remained in place.
