I am trying to create symbology for a polyline, where there are letters between the dashes when a polyline is symbolized as a dash. 

I have a marker layer created within the symbology tab of the line, which is symbolized with dashes. The marker layer contains ABC, which I want to have appear between the dashes. Below is what the symbolization tab looks like:

However, the below image is what the layer ends up looking like:

As you can see in the image, the dashes continue behind the lettering, which is not what I want. Below is an image of what I am trying to achieve, and would appreciate any and all help.

Building on what you were doing, I added an additional white Shape Marker as shown. This creates a sort of halo effect as can been seen on the imagery. I set all ratio positions to 0.25 0.75 for alignment.
