PARIS--French train maker Alstom SA (ALO.FR) Friday said it signed a contract with the Iranian government to start talks on the development of railways in the Middle East country.

The company, which makes TGV bullet-trains, will start discussing ways to address Iran's needs for mainland and urban transportation, as well as the production of trains in the country.

Since selling its power equipment-making unit to General Electric last year, Alstom has focused on the manufacturing of locomotives and rolling stock, as well as railway servicing.
