Heritage Shunters Trust

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:

    Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.
    Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

    You can’t trust God to be unmerciful.
    There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
