In this instance the light at the end of the tunnel, while white, is not an approaching speeding train. This is the (in)famous Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Tunnel in Montreal (Hi Nicky and Mike!). On Easter weekend my wife and I were traveling from Victoriaville (which likes to think of itself as the poutine capital of the world) to Montreal (the roads and bridges under construction capital of the world). The bridge travels beneath the main shipping channel of the St. Lawrence River.
It's scary. Tiles have fallen off the tunnel walls. It's always dripping. I have visions of that movie 2012 with John Cusack every time I pass through it.
So in this case. the light at the end of the tunnel was the Island of Montreal. Where, by the way, you can't turn right on a red light.
Also, in this case, it's a good thing to go towards the light...which is white.

That tunnel looks just like the old Sumner Tunnel in Boston. That was a scary trip. Beware of too much complaining because you could just find yourself involved in the chaos and never-ending nightmare of what we called The Big Dig.
I always head into the light. Shiny is good. So is this shot.
Me? I think they're cool...as is this photo.
I don't think I've ever travelled through an underwater tunnel. Considering that this one leak, I'll stick to above ground bridges.
;-)
And yes, tunnels are scary as all hell!!!!!!!!!
Okay, twice. I'm perverted.
