Still, if it were only about the Train or the Rice Pot, I could easily imagine it was indeed created for Zahard and the 10 with some involvement from the Workshop or some such. The problem is the part about Guardians... Creation of Guardians, even those that have different roles, sounds like something that should have happened when the Tower was first built. Well the guardians of the train would've been created alongside the train itself. They're not Floor Guardians (or Floor Managers for the more accurate translation), they're guardians of the Hell Train which are wholly different beings.

Without pre-existing mechanism to gauge whether there is something dormant inside of the climbers (e.g., GoG), there would be no reason to assume there is something more to awaken... right? I've been thinking about this too and it is a little perplexing, though it does lend support to the idea that there were Irregulars before Zahard. On another forum someone brought up the point that the Hell Train is nothing more than a plot device (their reasoning came from something else however). I can't remember where I've said it before, but it doesn't seem to make much sense that only Irregulars can undergo Revolution to "find their true self that is unrelated to society, ideologies and others". The entire concept of "Revolution" doesn't sound like anything special; it just sounds like it gives a person enlightenment (which in and of itself shouldn't really give a person much of a physical power boost). So why is it that Revolution is solely limited to Irregulars ? What do people from outside have that Tower natives don't ?
