Several interesting photos here including the PRR X30, a single car class.

This would make an interesting siding. Does anyone make opening end doors that operate? Has anyone modified a car to have open end doors?

I think they are unloading the engine. There are two firemen in slickers awaiting to drive it away. If it was being loaded only the manufacturer's workers would be involved. Pat Wade Santa Barbara, CA

I am working on one with open end doors. Side doors open, too, with full interior lining.

Allen,
as long as we are speaking H0scale, I can say there are some brass models with operating end doors. I remember Oriental Limited importing a SP 50' car, outside-braces but with steel sides, a C&O 40' steel box car from the same importer, and a UP 50' outside-braced car imported by Overland.
I have one of the SP cars and saw pics of the other ones - none of the three match today's standards in detail.
Possibly there were others, but I don't know.
