OK, here they are.
In the symbols.txt file goes these:
SYMBOL
   NAME 'track'
   TYPE ELLIPSE
   FILLED TRUE
   POINTS 1 1 END
END

SYMBOL
   NAME "tie"
   TYPE cartoline
   LINECAP butt
   LINEJOIN miter
   LINEJOINMAXSIZE 3
   STYLE
      1 10 1 10
   END
END

SYMBOL
   NAME 'grass'
   TYPE VECTOR
   FILLED FALSE
   POINTS
      5 6
      4 5
      -99 -99
      6 6
      5 4
      -99 -99
      7 6
      7 3
      -99 -99
      8 6
      9 4
      -99 -99
      9 6
      10 5
      -99 -99
      19 13
      18 12
      -99 -99
      20 13
      19 11
      -99 -99
      21 13
      21 10
      -99 -99
      22 13
      23 11
      -99 -99
      23 13
      24 12
   END

And I call them like so:
Railroads class:
      CLASS
         NAME "Railroads"
         STYLE
            SYMBOL 'track'
            SIZE 1
            COLOR 128 128 128
            ANTIALIAS TRUE
         END
         STYLE
            SYMBOL "tie"
            SIZE 5
            COLOR 128 128 128
            ANTIALIAS TRUE
         END
      END

Swamp thing (polygon fill)
      CLASS
         EXPRESSION "Swamp or Marsh"
         COLOR 240 255 240
         OUTLINECOLOR 128 255 128
         STYLE
            SYMBOL "grass"
            SIZE 30
            COLOR 96 128 64
         END
      END
