It's true that you can't have signals inside tunnels, because tunnels don't
exist -- the only thing that exists about them are the entrances.  What
happens in between is "virtual".

However, it should be possible to make trains behave as if there were
virtual signals at every tile.  Still, that's too much work at the moment.
