I am not an expert in flirting, but I'm pretty sure that is what that lady is doing to the photographer. She seems engaged with him or something, wonder if she went after him later on.
There wasn't an exact date for this, they gave a range of 1910-20, I think its 1915, the ladies aren't wearing hats, and I think if it was 1910, they would be. But I can see why they wore them, no hair spray. Some of their shoes do have a Victorian look to them, so I don't think its 1920. On the other hand one lady seems to have stockings on, and those came out in 1940, so I can only assume she is the time traveler in this picture.
I was able to find a number of postcards, but not one for this room. But based on what I found, it looked like it had gold trim and two toned wood. All the pictures showed a red colored wood, green chairs and green carpet.
This train was considered to be a deluxe line on the Deluxe overland limited train. Only businessmen and rich people could really afford to be on it.
