Drew up
Hola.
Estoy leyendo: As a boy I used o wath the trains as they drew up at the sidding.
El drew up me da quebraderos de cabeza, por que es algo así como elaborar, redactar.
Interpreto que quiere decir algo como:
Como niño salía mirar cómo los trenes ¿paraban? en el ¿apeadero?
Gracias.perdón:
solía mirar

No need to get frustrated about this. 'Draw up' has many meanings, and when you are talking about transport it means 'slow down and stop' at a particular location e.g. The taxi drew up outside the hotel and we got in.
A 'siding' (one 'd') is a stretch of railway track. It's explained here:

One definition of "draw" that is often overlooked is "pull". This might clarify the meaning of "draw up" (I would use "arrive" as a synonym, but "draw up" has that sense of something large and heavy arriving).
