YouTube Video by Mr. Ritadhi Shankar & he says : "Some rather unexpected action from Eastern Railways. Our 12260 New Delhi Sealdah Duronto Express stopped at Asansol for an unscheduled halt of five minutes, and subsequently creaked out of the station at snail's pace. We stopped just after clearing the station. After remaining stationary even after 10 minutes, we were informed of a minor fire in the brakeband of our Ghaziabad WAP7.

As we know that Locos by IR are commissioned for particular shed(s) in a phase wise manner. Here, I just wanted to say that only 2 sheds till now which are BRC for BCT-ADI/NDLS-ASR Route(s) and GZB for BBS/HWH/RNC/GHY - NDLS/ASR/JAT Route(s) via PNBE/GAYA are just not enough. IR needs to manifold it's Rolling Stock for meeting the introduction of new trains & frequency increases in old ones :-P
Hmmm ... SRC. Raam Krish Sir is the best person to answer about this query on IRI Forum :-)
