I do not think the original shot of X-702 was distorted – the cars were indeed that long. One still survives at a Bed & Breakfast in Jefferson, TX, a slight distance west of downtown (between downtown and US-59). The last time I saw it, it was still on trucks and a section of track, being used as an annex for a B&B or something similar. The window arrangement has been modified for the current use, but the car length, roof contour, etc., is unchanged.
