The crews knew where slack would run in and out on their territories based
on experience,train length,etc. It happened on both ends of the train but was
more pronounced on the caboose as you were the tail getting wagged. The head
end could try and stay "ahead" of the slack run ins,though this didn't always
work.
For those who have never experienced true train slack it and would like to
learn more I suggest finding a video shot from a caboose behind an ore train.
You could watch the slack come and go in the train like a wave in the water.
