Junction for Sealdah at 4 pm.
At around 7 pm, when the train was nearing the Bagrakot station in the Jalpaiguri district, the engine driver noticed fire on the cables. The engine was quickly detached from the bogies. The engine was then driven away to a distance.
Two fire engines from the Malbazar fire station arrived and doused the flame.
A major catastrophe could have occurred if the fire would have spread in the moving train.

At around 10 pm, another engine was used to drive the train to the New Jalpaiguri station.
