I like to draw maps in Corel for the publications I produce, and often have the need to show railroad tracks. I am unaware of a way to create and add to Corel line symbols, and I wonder if there is a way to create the railroad symbols used by map makers. The symbol consists of a single line with receptive crossbars to resemble railroad crossties. Any ideas, or do I need to rely on labeling to let readers know they are looking at a railroad line.

There are two ways I use.....
These were done with the "Artistic Media Brush" except the bottom most one, it was done with a "Blend". This is something I have asked for in the Wishlist for x7, better custom lines, but it seems it has been shot down.
Thank you Mike!
I'm a bit worried about that track on the right.
I hope you've checked that the points are well greased and in good working order ?

Yep, many people have said I have a "one track mind" for disaster!
