On October 31, 1969, Crateo issued a one-for-one stock dividend of all of its shares of Tri Financial to its common shareholders.

In 1970, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Camall Trucking, Inc., Santa Fe entered the trucking industry. Camall Trucking eventually ceased operations, sold its equipment and merged into Santa Fe effective May 31, 1990. From March 31, 1977 until July 31, 1993, Santa Fe was subject to an equity receivership established by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in an action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Walter Wencke, et al., Civil Action No. 76-0783-GT(M)("SEC v. Wencke"). The receivership was the result of a complaint filed by the SEC charging Walter Wencke and his associates with violations of the securities laws and did not involve bankruptcy proceedings.
