The C&S Superintendent of Motive Power who designed the Cinder Catcher which bears his name in 1918 was H.W. Ridgway.

The town of Ridgway Colorado was named for R.M. Ridgway, who was the first Superintendent of the RGS. Prior to that, the town was called Dallas Junction.

My understanding is that these Ridgways were related, H.W. may have been a nephew.
