Was Frisco 1630 supposed to go to Ukraine?Re: Illinois Railway Museum Discussion

On a recent visit to IRM I noticed something interesting pertaining to the builder plates on Frisco 1630. The Cyrillic characters used to spell out Philadelphia use an "i" in the next to last letter, just left of what looks like a backwards "R" which makes a "yah" sound. There is no "i" in the Russian alphabet; but there is one in the Ukrainian alphabet.
