Perhaps some people have already thought of it, but it just crossed my mind.

The journey from the 35th floor to  the 43rd floor while allowing people to "climb 6 floors at once" (ThCmpny translation) could be explained by the absence of a station on floors 36th and 38th: you board the train but cannot reach all floors between the 35th and 43rd, only six of them.

We know there is a station on floors 37th and 39th. But I cannot remmember if it was stated there is no station on floors 36th and 38th or if there were just omitted because of the plot.

---edit

You may be right, on chpater 153 Daniel and the Mad Dog talks of the former consuming many souls on the "last station" which may refer to the 36th floor station (he did consume many souls in the 35th floor, but not in the station, as far as I recall)

On chpater 152 it does say the train goes to the inner tower and middle area, adn it looks like (if the drawing is "faithful") that there is a station on the 36th floor.
