I've been unable to find a reference for this... underground mine with a "Main Room" and three tunnels leading out of it. Each tunnel leads to a different room. One tunnel leads to the Gallery, one leads to the Office, and one leads to eight small private rooms. I have action going from these Scene Headings: MAIN ROOM, PRIVATE ROOM TUNNEL, PRIVATE ROOM.
My question: In my description of the action in the tunnel, should I use private room tunnel or (capitalized) Private Room Tunnel?
I wasn't totally clear. Before I get to the tunnel, I introduce it in some description. I am asking if I capitalize the location in the description before I get to that location.

If it's not a proper noun then you wouldn't capitalize. You would capitalize the Holland Tunnel, because it is a proper noun. But if it's just a common, ordinary tunnel, then you might say in an action sequence: "Joe wanders the tunnel leading to the private room." No capitalization needed.
