Those hoppers are somewhat bigger than the ones I see pass me!

@Kempy72
These covered hoppers are of standard height, but are of a shorter length than our grain (and other materials) hoppers, due to the increased density of the lading (these are also used for oil-drillling Frac Sand).

@Maersk.146 there’s a cement train that passes my house everyday bringing cement from Tasmania via Port Kembla south of Sydney to Clyde Yard in West Sydney. The wagons they use are special round containers that sit on container wagons.
