Railroad symbols

[Fischer, Brian]

Chip,

Someone had posted this awhile back and it works nicely.  Credit goes to
whoever posted it, I can't remember.  You will have to define the Tahoma
font in your font file and make sure it is installed on your computer.
Hope this helps.

Help!  Does anyone have a symbol definition that looks vaguely like a
railroad?  Thanks in advance.
