In today's manufacturing world, I'm afraid that's sort of like the joke about hoping the photocopier caught a typo on some of the resumes a person just sent out. 
The "factory error" issues of way back when where there were "a few" of something like this before someone caught an error and corrected it are over, I believe. To the people making these trains, it's just a graphic, since most do not presumably speak English, much less have mastery enough of the language to notice a spelling issue. To them it's a graphic, just like to many of us, if we had to letter something using Chinese characters, it would be highly unlikely for one of us to catch some subtle difference that changed the meaning.
Huck Fin (one n), Nortern, Mermack, Soutern, Awared, Westerh Bucyrus Eric, etc. The list goes on.
A slightly different situation, if a small segment of the lettering ends up just plain missing, that could be something not across all units, as if the graphics are applied in multiple steps, missing a step can happen no matter what language you speak or are trying to apply as decoration. Like this culvert car missing the last letter.
