A true Spring Switch, was pretty rare, in that they sprung back on every wheel that went through it. Leo is right, some were fitted with a retarder, that let it come back kinda like a storm door. They were a nightmare to maintain. I seen a few, one in particular came off  the Afton sub around Miami, Oklahoma on to the Tulsa main. They did not stay in service long, they shook apart. Most of them was designated in the timetable. They had a real limited use.

I only dealt with one spring switch; it was At the west end of Savanna yard. Going west(north) out of the yard you could " Run through it" onto the main and it would flop back awhile after the movement had stopped

For anyone that knows: Does a spring switch function as a spring switch regardless of which way the points are thrown?
