Diesels, depending on conditions, can usually simply start a train whether it's bunched or stretched. That was one of the many selling points over steam.

Except for articulated cars, slack is about the same as ever. In some cases (auto racks, and other cars with long travel cushioing systems), it can be more than ever.
