After extinguishing the fire, a new engine was sent at the site and the passengers of the train were sent to Shimla, the DRM said.
The exact cause of the fire is not yet clear, Sharma said, adding that there might be some electric or mechanical fault behind it. An inquiry has been ordered into the incident, he added.
