Locking the switch
You can lock the switch by powering it with redstone from underneath. In the locked state, it will ignore any non-redstone switching attempts.
Switch indicator while driving train
When you approach the switch while controlling the train, you will get pop up. It tells you what kind of switch you are approaching and in what state its in.
The current switch direction is underlined.
Underline is red when your chosen direction is different than switches direction.
(You can see it on the first image of the switch indicators section, chosen direction is straight but switch is directed right.)
If switch you are approaching is locked, lock symbol will be light up.

Brass switch has all the functions of the Andesite one and few more.
Recipe
Switching from the train
When you get brass switch pop up, while driving, you can switch it by choosing a direction like in a normal intersection without the switch and clicking jump button.

In manual mode, you can only change its direction by hand, redstone, arrows, and while driving the train.
In manual and scheduled trains mode, scheduled trains can switch it by them self.
