Really love your abandoned station shots! Kinda interesting how the signal is still lit up, even though the tracks indicate that no train came by here in a long time.

The signal light is there because once in a while worker trains will pass through those tracks.

Whats BMT stand for?  This is very cool.  Why the abandonment?

BMT = Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, and because a new subway route was developed so this station wasn't needed anymore.

Is there surface access at all?

Yes there is a staircase with a short gate in front of it.

Very cool.  Any abandoned trains anywhere in the system?

Any discontinued trains are either kept in a train yard or pulled apart and taken out of the system, although who knows there might be a hidden gem somewhere waiting for me to find it.
