  ID is the abbreviation for Interdivisional. At the time of the collision, N&W
  had extended the run of the Portsmouth-based crew to Bluefield.  Normally,
  No. 86's crew would have gone off duty at Williamson.  It was not yet an "every
  day event" for a Scioto Division crew to be operating on the Pocahontas
  Division.  NTSB concluded that the crew had missed the distant signal for
  Farm, which was in the vicinity of Antler #1 tunnel.   According to curvature,
  cuts, etc., the head end crew had mere seconds to view the signal.
