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.

Three friends of mine lost there lives in  this collision and fire.This run 
may not have been an every day event, but  it defiantly was an every night 
event. This was an assigned run and as a  matter of fact I worked it the last 
three years of my time on the RR The  signal in question was the East bound signal 
at the West end of Farm which was.  is? In a cut to the right with short 
sight distant I have photo of it  somewhere.
