Welcome to Trainz.

As I understand your question, you want to put a tunnel on a built-in track? If so, then yes, you can do this by inserting spline points either side of where you wish to have your tunnel and deleting the track between them.

There are a few options available for tunnels, some have scripting which means you only have to connect the track to the tunnel entrance at either end and little else. Others require you to use a tunnel spline to connect the two tunnel portals and then the dig hole tool to remove the ground from the entrance when you raise the level around the tunnel. It sounds confusing but is simple enough.

As for wipers, not all locos have this as an enabled function. Others have automatic wipers and some you can turn on and off yourself.

It's pretty simple really, but it also takes some practice. It works basically the same as placing track. You'll notice when placing tunnels that the spline points will snap to the grid points. There's no way around this that I know of.
If you're trying to place a tunnel through an existing mountain, your tunnel spline points will be placed on the terrain and will follow the slope of the mountain. This is okay. Once you get the tunnel spline points placed, you can use the 'apply gradient' tool to the tunnel to get it to pass through the mountain. The 'apply gradient' tool is under the advanced tab as I recall. It's the same as applying a grade to track. Sometimes I like to place the tunnel first and then build up the mountain around the tunnel.

As I said, it just takes a little practice.

Try the tunnel kit by AJS, it has a tutorial with it.
