A railroad switch device for moving railroad switch points is provided. The device includes a hydraulic unit comprising a hydraulic manifold, a hydraulic cylinder to provide constant forward movement and reverse movement, and a hydraulic circuit unit. The railroad switch device also includes a mechanical target to automatically indicate the position of a point rod, where the hydraulic unit is coupled to the point rod. Additionally, the railroad switch device includes a plurality of spring units to produce a continuous thrust force for holding the railroad switch points closed in forward position and reverse position, where the plurality of spring units control the target rotation to approximately 90 degrees. A plurality of proximity sensors detect the point rod position, and a power unit supplies hydraulic power to the hydraulic unit for moving the hydraulic cylinder.
