I think I'll go with archivist-in-training for Yen's profession.
To that end, when questioning about the relics, she'll mostly present herself as a friend of the Lynches who is a history buff. She will connect it to curiosity about her work, and she'd understood that these relics were dug up from a site that she hadn't heard about previously. She'd turn the question around and express interest as to why these collectors went for these relics in turn — Looks? Prestige? Scarcity?
On the subject of further research, she'll start pursuing the question as to which mega-corporations built the trains and when individual routes were completed. (A clarification included in this: were the trains built after North America was allegedly destroyed? Or before? Was there ever a plan to reach that area?) She'll also dig at who at the United Nations was making policies around approval of these train routes, budgets, etc.
