      Along the 60-mile railroad from the Tayeh iron mines to the Wuhan plant, another small integrated iron and steel complex, with a capacity of 100,000 to 200,000 tons, began to arise in 1958 at Ocheng. This hsien was actually raised to the status of municipality in 1960, but the level of development evidently did not justify such a high administrative level, and Ocheng was returned to hsien status in late 1961.]
