Ladle transfer car explained

A ladle transfer car is a material handling tool which is used in foundries. The car carries a metal ladle, typically torpedo-shaped (with two pointed ends), from one location to another for processing molten metal.^{[1] [2]} It can also be called a molten steel transporter, a bottle car,^[3] or a Tundish transfer car.

The ladle is placed on a rail car but can be removed to pour out the molten metal.
