From a second look I think you are right about only two truss rods on the DL&W boxcar, Eric. Your version of the photo shows the underbody details a bit better and tells me that part of what I Thought

The dock to the RIGHT in the photo is clearly a ramp going off to the right - you can see the horizontal floor lines do not line up. The area in front of the car is slightly sloped rather
