Most of the weight is in the frame. The body makes up very little actual weight, and I don't think the frame has changed much since it was built (Pretty sure the main sills were changed at some point, the drawings show them as 2 pieces, ours are a single piece per sill).

The total weight is 8 tons. I'll bet 3 of that is the frame, another 3 or 4 is wheels, couplers, brake cylinder and pedestals, rest is body and interior
