This article at Gothamist has some video.

It's a three or four car train, depending on which article you
believe, running express between Times Sq and 96th streets on the 2/3
line, between 2 and 6 PM on weekends in September. The train is
authentically free of A/C.

Is this equipment that is normally at the transit museum, or is there
a cache of old trains somewhere else?

I believe that the Transit Museum has only one or two sample IRT cars. The
operable ones are kept in one of the yards. The same is true of the IND and BMT
cars, some are in the museum, others in yards are for operation.
