+=== Dave Fawcett's symbols from the old Mapserver wiki ===
+Posted by HostGIS at 2007-08-09
+This defines a pair of symbols which, when overlaid on each other, creates a thick line with a dashed line down the middle. This is appropriate for highways, for example.

+Here's a method for drawing railroad tracks. THis is the usual line with shorter lines ("ties") across it.

+=== Swamp/Marsh fill pattern and Railroad ===
+Posted by Bill Thoen at 2007-08-10
+This is a self contained sampler of two symbol types. The first is a polygon fill pattern for swamp land. The second is a railroad symbol and while not particularly special, it illustrates the method of combining multiple styles to build up a decorated line type. The example consists of two files: a MAP file and its associated HTML file. Copy them both and then simply run the MAP file with mapserv to see the symbology.

+=== Plane symbol ===
+Posted by John Zastrow at 2008-05-05
+I've been working on an improved version of the Itasca.map and taught myself how to make vector symbols (based on this excellent site!  http://umn.mapserver.ch/index_en.php ). The symbol is below, but perhaps more importantly I created a little Excel to help me and included a brief explanation how to use it. http://northredoubt.com/mapserver/mapserver-vector-symbol-designer.xls
+An improved itasca.map is also available (a work in progress) http://northredoubt.com/mapserver/itasca.map.html
