                  ALSTOM WINS CONTRACT IN THE US FOR LOCOMOTIVE
                     MAINTENANCE WORTH OVER USD 420 MILLION

ALSTOM  has just been  awarded  a  contract  worth  over USD 420  million  (over
430 million) by Burlington  Northern & Santa Fe Railway  Company (BNSF) for the
maintenance of 434 freight locomotives over a 12 year period.

This new contract confirms  ALSTOM's strategy in transport:  to rapidly grow its
service  activities  thanks to its wide range of expertise and to strengthen its
positions in North America.

BNSF operates one of the largest railroad  networks in North America with 56 000
kilometres  of track  covering 28 states and two Canadian  provinces.  This vast
network covers the western two-third of the United States.

To ensure the highest level of fleet  availability and reliability,  ALSTOM will
apply the innovative technique of Conditioned Based Maintenance,  which is based
mainly on the performance  and  reliability  analysis of each piece of equipment
and each  sub-system.  This  technique  will enable BNSF to achieve  substantial
savings on its maintenance costs.

Michel Moreau,  President of ALSTOM's Transport Sector, said: "We are very proud
of this latest success in the US, which comes just after the awards, in June and
July this year, of the prestigious Washington and New York metro contracts.
Signing this new order with a partner of BNSF's standing,  establishes ALSTOM in
the diesel-electric  locomotive freight market in North America,  and reinforces
ALSTOM's  position as the most  diversified,  worldwide  leader in rolling stock
services."
