Hi,

I doubt they would have been lighter on the rails than a C-16, having fewer drive axles

Just out of curiosity, I looked some specs up in Locomotives of the Rio Grande - 1983 edition.

T12 - 56,550# and five axles for 11,210 pounds per axle.

C16 - 60,000# and five axles for 12,000 pounds per axle.

Good call.
