Railroads on Stamps & Covers of Austria
by Dexter C. Wright

So what does "Co-Co" mean?
We learned back on this page that it has something to do with wheel arrangement.
Here's the full story, at Wikipedia.

The "C" means three powered axles, the "o" means the axles are independently powered, and having "Co" twice means there are two bogies or trucks.

Here is another page that discusses wheel arrangement designations, in more detail.
