What would be carried on this car? I can't decide whether it's for carrying automobiles that they don't want people breaking in to, or livestock that need air?

See trains carrying automobile chassis frequently here in metro Detroit. Also for some reason it's common for cars carrying corn to leak onto the tracks.

Once stock boxcars were found to be inefficient for transporting automobiles, special open rack cars were made for transporting vehicles by train. Over time these became increasingly enclosed to deal with theft, vandalism, and damage from debris and the elements. Cars like pic related are more or less the default now. Because automobiles need to be moved around under their own power, they typically are shipped with fluids already filled up. The sides of the cars have enough ventilation to deal with the limited amount of exhaust when vehicles are driven onto and off of the train car and to keep gasoline and other vapors from building up during transit. OP's photo likely is a hand-me-down vehicle carrier that has been resold many times before ending up in a low end market.
