cattle car
Train for herds
A cattle car is a railroad car designed for transporting livestock, with slatted sides for ventilation.
The term carries dark historical weight from its use to transport people to Nazi concentration camps, and now evokes any vehicle or space where humans are packed in degrading, inhumane conditions: We were crammed into the subway like a cattle car.
