Allowing the wall gate to send a signal to the rail system will allow us to create a safe place to cross train track, closing a section of track when the gate opens.

You can already connect gates to circuit network to create such stuff which is widely used.
In your request you can wire gates to rail signal to do this. However the train in auto mode will *try* to break and if it is able to do so in time it will. If a train is near and is at high speed and you just switched signal to red (while it was already yellow) it might still not react in time and run over you.

FYI to not mess up "Logistic Network" (a bot based system to transfer and build stuff) with "Circuit Network" (a red-green wire, combinator etc based system to implement circuit logic)

Mods - please move to implemented.
