I am currently riding a old diesel train from the 50's on a herritage railroad through the dark Swedish landscape of an early autumn evening - AMA!

Ahem, pics!
While my Lumix S5 is only semi working, I do have my iPhone 12 mini:
Please enjoy this photo of my backpack on the seat in front of me
Here is a photo of my Lumix S5 on it's tripod.

Is it for fun, or is this train in actual service?

Both, herritage railroads are fun, and this is so long that it serves a local public transport need.
For me it is simply fun

SpårvagnRälsbuss!I lived beside the oldest Swedish combined post and railway station when I was a kid, we took the rälsbuss to the city from time to time. Once I went to the back end of it, as they had like a locomotive at both ends, and started playing with things (I was like 7). Got told to stop. Good memory.

Nope, not a spårvagn, a rälsbuss!
A Yp railbuss from the Y6 family built for a gauge of 891mm.

I am afraid I don't have any headphones with me, and I don't want to be rude to the other passengers
Playing Opeth at full volume would not be rude.

Are you listening to Opeth’s classic concept album My Arms, Your Hearse while you navigate through their homeland?
I do believe that MYYH is not a concept album. Still life and The last will and testament is.
But Opeth is never a bad thing to listen to -

Those trains were blatantly copied by another Swedish company, and then that one was again blatantly copied by a Finnish company, leading to the models Dm6 and Dm7: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR_Class_Dm7
Zero royalties paid!

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?

Do you often ride on trains?
Also, how would you describe the sound it makes on the 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.

Well, SJ, the government operator started with the Y6 family of DMUs for standard, 1435mm, track gauge, these were built by AJS, Hägglunds, Kalmar verkstad and Märstaverken.
Then Hilding Carlsson built the Yp variant (for narrow gauge 891mm) of the Y6 family.
