You could always rent a car in Crescent City or Eureka then drive back to where you can get a train. Or just simply take the bus there. By no means do you want to stop in Reedsport. The coast south of there is awesome. The coast in Bandon just has to be seen, along with Port Orford and a few others.
And I mentioned Eureka because of the Redwoods. It is simply a magical experience riding through the park. Once outside the park it is not so great going through Orick and all (by comparison). But then it starts picking up again around Trinidad. Just hope you don't have fog like we did.
Once past Trinidad it gets pretty boring again but Mckinleyville and Arcata and pretty nice towns for a ride. You might be able to find a rental at the airport in Mckinleyville. Nice and close to Trinidad.
