You can do an internet search and find a lot of old photographs with pretty girls posing with new locomotives and passenger equipment. I would hesitate to use the words "pin up" with these photos however.
That being said....I have quite a few of the pretty girl and trains tin metal signs displayed in my train room. I like them and do not find them offensive at all. If guests do, I politely show them the way out.

The internal "decorations" of cabooses and shop areas were not part of railroad advertising campaigns.
