Four 6's Frequently Asked Questions

What does the car offer?

Answer : There is small living room with cable TV, radio and limited library books. The car has two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a clawfoot tub. It has a galley with refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, and prep work area (not a cook-in kitchen). A small dining area converts into two sleeping bunks. The bedroom features a queensized high bed tastefully coordinated with the turn of the 20th century.

Guests will have use of the galley to store and prep a continental style breakfast of their choosing. We will have coffee available for you. In lieu of a provided breakfast, there will be a $25 certificate for each reservation that may be redeemed within a year at our retail store, Das Peach Haus, located at 1406 S. Highway 87, or at the Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. company showroom located at 411 S. Lincoln Street. This certificate can be found in the Railcar upon your arrival.

Answer : The car was found abandoned by an individual who decided to make a bed and breakfast out of it. Unable to find a suitable location for the car in Granbury, Texas he decided to bring it to Fredericksburg. Since Fischer and Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. owned the warehouse near where the old San Antonio, Fredericksburg & Great Northern Railway depot once stood, it was decided to allow him to place it there. Shortly after opening for business he sold it to another businessman, who soon grew tired of operating it and offered it to Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc.. Originally, this car was leased to the QA&P Railroad Company by the Burnett family after his death. It was repainted and saw service along the Frisco route until it was retired in the early 1960s. The missing years are still being determined. One story has it that it was used in Tennessee, but we are not actually certain.

Answer : Unfortunately, no. As all business cars used during that era, many were returned to cities where they could be serviced and out-fitted with the latest trend in rail travel. This car was last remodeled in St. Louis shortly before it was decommissioned from the Frisco Line.

Answer : The 6666 is owned by Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc. It is often used to house visiting chefs, representatives, brokers, and grocery and restaurant barons today. Fischer & Wieser Specialty Foods, Inc, is a privately held famiy corporation. CEO and President is Case D. Fischer, Vice President of Marketing is Deanna Fischer, COO is Jenny K. Wieser, Ph.D, and Mark B. Wieser is Director of Retail Opertions.
