In addition, during World War II years, the Illinois Central's facilities were severely taxed and large expenditures were needed so that troops and war materials could be expeditiously and eflBciently transported. Along the lines of its railroad in the Mississippi Valley, some seventy munitions and other war plants, as well as many military camps, were located. Also, as a result of the war, the port of New Orleans became the second largest port in the United States, and about 30% of the busines...s in and out of this port by railroad has been, and is now, handled by the Illinois Central. Furthermore, not only during the war years but subsequently, the demands on the Raihoad were greatly increased, and large sums were required to meet these demands, pay for the necessary deferred mainte- nance, and service its bonded indebtedness. During the early years of the '30's, the annual interest on all debt was approximately $16, 500, 000, in contrast to almost one- third that amount at the present time.
