Heritage Shunters Trust is a trading name of The South Yorkshire Railway Co. Ltd. which was founded in 1989. HST is a railway preservation society and is the only preservation society that solely specialises in the preservation of diesel shunters in the UK. The initials HST can be seen as a pun on High Speed Train (shunters being very low-speed machines).
The locomotives are kept at Rowsley, Derbyshire on the site of preserved railway Peak Rail but the company is certainly a separate outfit.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or trust:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Oh yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
