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 specialises in the preservation of ex-British Railway diesel shunters in the UK although they do also have a few engines not classed as shunters.

Most of the locomotives are kept at Rowsley, Derbyshire on the site of preserved railway Peak Rail but the company is a separate outfit. Galas are usually held twice a year where the collection is put on display and brakevan rides are hauled by an assortment from the active fleet. Guided tours of the collection, and the viewing of restoration work being undertaken, are available most weekends for a small charge.
