The BNSF has installed spring frogs in our yard. I have been waiting for something to fall into the frog preventing it from springing to it's normal position. With hand throw switches the last guy to throw the switch inspected the points and power switches will not lock if the points have something lodged in them. With a spring frog the last thing to move it was the wheel of a car or locomotive and it would be hard to spot a spring frog lodged open. The gap made by having something stuck in the frog would make it look a lot like a normal frog when looked at from a distance.
