All, 

How about just using a "+" sign as a symbol for the line instead of all the

Hmm, still not getting the spacing correct.  The crossties seem to be at a 
consistent interval, but the dashed centerline isn't spacing well- sometimes I 
get ties centered on the line (which is whaat I want), and sometimes the ties 
are at the end of a dash.
