A person who was visiting nearby Lake Lily Park notified police about the body just before 11 a.m.
Police said the man was hit and killed by a train, but they have not determined whether it was SunRail, CSX, or some other train.
While police investigated the scene, trains were stopped in Maitland for more than two hours.
SunRail trains running along that route are expected to be delayed until early evening because of the investigation.
One couple said they were delayed when their Amtrak train had to stop just short of their destination.
Stan and Fran Penney were trying to make their way back to their Maitland home after traveling 4,000 miles across the United States and Canada for the last two and half weeks.
“We got within just a few hundred yards of our house when we were stopped by this incident,” Fran Penney said.
Maitland Police had not yet identified the man fatally struck by the train.
No other details were immediately available.
