Getting railway tunnels (almost) right

Presumably a compass works underground, so if you could get a continuous log of speed (or distance travelled) and compass bearing, you could do a bit of 'dead reckoning'. Perhaps you could take a compass with you, set it up next to your speedometer in the cab, and video the two as you drive? Or maybe you need to get one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

Do the tunnels have ventilation shafts to the surface that could act as further checkpoints?

Travelling Salesman Website

Thanks, Sanderd17. The Mapquest site looks good, but the final bit looks more difficult - getting the locations into the satnav (the other site gives me the co-ordinates for each one).
