    Russian-to-English is difficult to directly translate, and this is "old Russian" script which made it a little more difficult for my wife. But it basically states:

    "To all respected Fedoru Karl von Cuba for long service and fond memory from workers on Northwestern roads"

    The second and third lines of text are his name, and she did her best to give an English equivalent. The "roads" was likely railroad vs highways/ streets.
