That was one of the last of the Bernie Ente trips, and if it's the one I'm thinking off, it was absolutely a brutally hot day in the early '2000's. Either Forgotten NY or OldNYC had a bunch of pictures of that trip, and that would give you the date.

krispy: You're referring to the June 6, 2000 trip: http://www.trainsarefun.com/nycrr/nycrr.htm Yes, about 110 degrees in the coach!

This was a LIST trip on June 2, 2007 that ran from Pond down the Bay Ridge to 65th Street. Power was the 159/151 with NYA’s P72.

The coach was sold to Catskill Mountain in 2013 and now the hack covers any trips such as this.
