cattle cars
Freight train pens
Cattle cars are railroad freight cars designed to transport livestock, with slatted sides for ventilation.
The term carries dark historical weight from the Holocaust, when such cars transported prisoners to concentration camps under horrific conditions.
The phrase now evokes any inhumane mass transport of people: They packed us into the subway like cattle cars.
