The  was a rail at the Luqui viaduct that led to the deaths of King Florián III and all members of the royal family on September 13, 1961. The incident resulted in a succession crisis that led to the War of the Three Capitals. The aftermath of the incident was the development of the commonwealth in Ventora. The derailment was caused by a faulty repair to a heat-stressed rail which allowed gauge widening that permitted the train's wheels to leave the tracks.

Six carriages fell into the ravine below the viaduct, killing 29 and injuring 19. Rescue efforts were hampered by the remoteness of the location. All 21 members of the royal family who were aboard were killed, as were 8 crew and staff. Nineteen crew and staff were also injured.
