With the super high diesel ratings they have, how do the gas motor ones rate?

Normally, I always correct people on the "torque vs HP" argument - as it's hp that pulls you up grades, not torque.
So you mean to say an engine with 200HP and 250lbft of TQ will get up a hill better than one with 200HP and 400lbft of TQ?
With a perfect CVT - absolutely identical. No better, no worse.
In a real life example: 5.7 HEMI with 395hp / 409 lb-ft, 8 spd ZF, will beat a Gen 2 Cummins with 250 hp / 505 lb-ft, any day, any time, any where.
When was the last time we saw a GE locomotive rated in torque of their prime movers? a 6000 hp locomotive out pulls a 4400 hp, regardless of torque.
