For me, I�d use, pull in.
You can pull up in a car, or you can also pull over too. But for a train coming to a stop on the same line in a station, it would be pull in.
Of course another different idea, is that you can train to do pull ups, but that�s physical exercise and I don�t do much of that ;)
Now I�ve gone and confused everyone, sorry!

I would also say pull in.
Like MaryAnn said, pull up is for a car, but a train pull �s in. It stays on it �s track, it can �t maneuver or anything like that...

I would say �pull in � too as the train pulls in(to) the station.

Hi! I would use pull in, because it means "to reach a destination". Mainly used for trains)))
E.g. The train pulled in at the station.

I would say both the train pulled in at 5:10 or the train pulled up just in front of the station.
Pulled up meaning stopped, braked or arrived. |

A train always pulls in to a station.
