Some investigation shows
17:05 is due to stop Killucan at 17:55 to depart at 17:59:30
The rescue locomotive left Connolly sometime after 19:15, the RTE report says 18:30 as the time of breakdown so the 17:05 was in trouble anyway so it took over 45 minutes to dispatch rescue and some genius allowed a railcar to get out ahead as well further delaying matters
Of course its not impossible for 29k to drag a locomotive hauled set, just it would have to be air braked which the Mk2 is not. Up north railcars have rescued locomotive hauled set
