I don't think it helps much, but here is a higher-resolution image of the underside of 24024 at Washington Spur. I agree that there doesn't appear to be any truss rods, but it does have what look to be needle beams. Why have needle beams if not to distribute the truss rod support to the sills? The 24011 clearly has truss rods, but no turnbuckles.
