I worked the Quincy LIne starting in 1971 and the 2 things I remember most about the spring switches;

     1.  It took forever to run at restricted from the approach signal to the switch and to get in the clear.

     2.  Whenever it snowed and you were leaving the siding trailing through the switch, it seemed like enough snow fell in the switch to keep the points from making contact after the way car was through the switch.  The next train through would have to stop and clean out the switch.
