What is the heritage railroad environment like in Sweden? Are these being run by the actual railroad owners, or by private groups over the railroads’ tracks?
Most herritage railroads has their own tracks, but there are herritage train societies that own spaces for locomotives and cars, but no track, and they arrange trips on the public tracks, this has allowed us to even have preserved electrical trains and locomotives, several of which are fitted with ATC to allow them to run all over Sweden.

Very neat, thank you! I wish we had more like that in the US.
I had a quick look on Wikipedia and there seems to be about 300 heritage railroads and railway museums in the US.
Check out the list and see if you have access to one nearby:
