Go get 'em!
Great tips. I have a cheap tripod that works like the Velbon but it is more bulky and so gets left behind often. Some other tips my railfan photography friends use:
o Since small digital cameras lack shutter release cables use the self-timer so that releasing the shutter doesn’t shake the camera even on a tripod.
o Many of my friends use a monopod. Since I often carry a collapsible hiking I’m going to look into getting one that also serves as a camera monopod like the TrekPod (Hiking Stick, Monopod, Tripod all in one)

o Last it is nice to always have one of those small tripods with you. I bought a Gorilla Pod and love it. I always have it with me. Check it out at:
