Corey Siegel: My first job as a signal inspector after taking my practical was 2nd shift valley inspector. I came in earlier that day to take my practical at valley interlocking. I got made, they broke my time, then I covered an open job for valley 2nd shift inspector (signal department).
[I don't understand what it means to get made.]
I was on the clock for 23 minutes when my beeper went off and I got my first trouble call. Signal displaying a clear and no code (automatic speed control) earlier that day when I was getting my practical from two supervisors. They not only gave me the same exact scenario as the actual trouble call, but literally the same exact track circuit.
[It sounds like that circuit has a problem and keeps acting up.]
