Aside from the for the model/manufacturer, why use a manual ground throw? Of course, I can see the obvious reason...they look prototypical. But is there is technical reason over remote/electic or maybe a specific area they are more useful over the remote/electric. For example, manual ground throws work better in frieght/switching yards because the remote version take up to much space for close mounting? Or because manual ground throws keep the control panel from being cluttered. Or...? Thanks in advance for anyone insight. B
