the idea of the symbol exchange too!

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
