Francon

The Francistown Container Terminal (Francon) is a small business unit of Botswana Railways which has been predominately housed under the Marketing Department of BR.  It is a dry port facility which operates in the same manner as Gabcon. 

Future plans for Francon are to enable it to act as a northern hub for consolidating road based traffic from destinations in the northern part of Botswana as well as neighbouring countries in the north.  This repositioning strategy will ensure that BR is able to increase its market share, therefore increase its profits.
