I took these photos back around 1993.....at the Woodhaven station. The second to last photo was a random photo along the ROW, and the very last one is a photo of the station when it was in use. It was easy to access the station back then, we just crawled in under the platform, onto the former trackbed, and then just jumped up on the platform. In the enclosure area, there were mattresses and debris like someone "lived" there, but no one was there.

It was also easy to get in by the LIRR Montauk branch, where the bridge used to be. But that was back then...I don't know about now. Also, either way, you should wait until after it freezes, the area around the Montauk Branch was infested with poison ivy. I assume that may still be the case:
