    Most of this video (from 2:22) is WA bauxite operations at the Jarrahdale mine and Kwinana alumina refinery. The XC class bauxite hoppers were built by WAGR's Midland Workshops, not Comeng, and remain in service today.

    The first wagons shown in the video are Quensland railways "G" wagons built for coal haulage on the "Goonyella to Hay Point Line.
    The second ones are definitely bauxite wagons, but built for the Western Australian Government Railways.

      In the Early 70's Comeng at Salisbury built 60 (I think ) bauxite wagons which the staff understood were for Weipa

      @@jackstanton8212, Yes Comeng at Salisbury built 60 bauxite wagons for Comalco at Weipa, with further deliveries to bring the total supplied to 90.
      But they are not the wagons in the video.
