Isn't it interesting, the myriad of opinions forthcoming on any given Topic and the choice of language employed to tout a person's own favorite choices? Mister Beasley's Topic is a good example of prompting a bevy of creative solutions to a unique modeler's challenge. DigitalGriffin came up with using El wire which lends a neon effect to brighten the tunnels. Muddy Creek suggests "daylight brightness" for filming the tunnel segments. Both, are possibilities. Perhaps, rather than using the soft warm glow of incandescent lamps "blasting" the tunnel at evenly spaced intervals, another scource could be from the lead car itself? Granted it would be neccessary to lighten-up from the usual grimmy black walls and ceilings to perhaps a battleship gray, but a strong light emmited from the "head" coach down the rails ahead might capture the claustrophobic effect of the tunnel? Just another option thrown into the "mix." Best of luck.
