Greetings, David.
I followed your instructions and I am making some progress. I now have
two categories with individual symbologies for the Mile Marker point layer.
However, there seems to be a problem with my CSV file or something else.
The layer is not displaying the first Mile Marker point and I cannot see
why.
The first point displayed is M2, not M1.
Here are the beginning entries in the CSV file
Lat Long Mile Style
-79.92445 39.70958 M 1 1
-79.936296 39.698546 M 2 1
-79.939802 39.68499 M 3 1
-79.958298 39.683171 M 4 2
The layer does not display M1. The first point displayed is M2.
I verified M1 coordinates are correct.
There are screen shots here:

Any idea of what the problem might be.
Thanks,
WV-Mike

You can style markers differently, even if they are in the same layer.
I would add a new integer column to the CSV file "style". Points that
are to receive the same styling get the same integer value. For
example, red markers are 1, blue are 2, etc. Or square are 1, round
are 2, etc. Then in the properties->symbolize tab, select
"Categorized" for the styling method, and select the new style field
for value. Then set the style for each category.
I think this approach has two advantages:
1. Easier import of the point
2. Better control over grouping points with similar styling.
There are probably other, perhaps more powerful ways that someone else
can suggest.

placing each point on a separate layer seems unusual. Can you tell
us why you want to do this?
Hello Dave,
There are 29 points representing mile markers on a local Rail-Trail.
I would like to be able to style some markers differently from the
others.
Thanks,
