Using sex to sell tickets on the 20th Century Limited

I found it interesting how the film used scantily clad women that had "forgotten" to close the sleeping compartment door or section curtain as enticement to voyeuristic men traveling on the train. The young woman (7:40) is shown in a see-through nightie with her bedroom door wide open. Not to mention the legs sticking out of the section curtain.

Was the NYC considered a more "hip" railroad to ride (and play) on than the PRR? And how disappointed were the business travelers on the 20th Century Limited to find that the train was mostly men snoring the night away and not filled with starlets that were too careless to shut the door?

It all gives a new meaning to the "Romance of the rails".
