Why did the engineer take so long to cut the throttle?

He probably did "cut the throttle", but if the locomotive starts priming, i.e. drawing water, then closing the throttle doesn't really do much, especially with a dome throttle.
That CAN'T be good for it, can it?

Probably put some moons in the rail.
Don't have a clue how they do it in the UK, but for me, I learned a long time ago when coming to a stop under questionable conditions in regards to restarting, I would sand to a stop so I would have good sand already under the wheels for starting. Saved my butt many a' time.
