SJ the national train line (http://www.sj.se/) has regular service between Östersund and many cities in Sweden. Price and time wise it's more expensive than flying, but if you wish to see the country, a good option indeed. Expect times to and from Stockholm to run anywhere from 5.5 hours on the X2000 their high speed train to 6.5 hours on a slightly slower train. Also keep in mind that swedish rail traffic has seen severe disruptions in service due to snow the last five years with trains being delayed for several hours and canceld.

Another nice way to go to Östersund is by the Inlandsbanan. It's a slow diesel train that starts in Mora and ends in Gällivare. They make a stop in Östersund, so you can get on and off the train. The train is rather touristic, but it's a very special way to get to Östersund.
