Yes train goes backward down the slope 6 times.
This operation on Z-loop takes around 4-5 minutes.
Yes mostly the change over staff is a part of the crew except at 1 or 2 spots where we see dedicated staff with small cabin.

Do you mean the train goes backward down the slope? and that too six times? how long does it take to reverse and then forward? is the changeover staff a part of the crew?
