Wild revels closing way across track (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

level crossing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'way across track' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'wild revels closing' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'revels'+'closing'='revelsclosing'
'revelsclosing' with letters rearranged gives 'LEVEL-CROSSING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for level crossing that I've seen before include "Here motorist comes by train" , "Where a road traverses a railway" , "Road-rail intersection" , "Point of intersection of a road and a railway" .)
