Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The appropriate phrasal verb used for a train arriving or entering a station is pulled into.Pull into means (of a vehicle) to move into a station, siding, or parking space.Pull in means to arrive at a destination but requires the preposition 'into' when followed by the specific destination (the station).Pull onto means to move onto a surface, which is incorrect for a station platform/tracks.Thus, "pulled into" is the correct improvement.
