Difficulty

Sand and gravel surface provides decent traction without extreme challenges. Those washboards and uneven surfaces create jarring ride but nothing technically demanding. The railroad tracks provide navigation reference running alongside. Main consideration is respecting that private property in the last half mile by reducing speed to minimize dust, both courteous and potentially required. Any vehicle with basic clearance handles this while respecting the speed reduction on private land.
