By "the side of the station" they mean next to the station or on the wall of the station. "close against" means very nearby / touching.

"Close against" means "on the ground, very near" here. You could also say "immediately adjacent", or "almost touching."

Close means near to, or near by. (Vicino)
Against the side is referring to the side of a building (Lato is the nearest Italian equivalent I can think of, although I am not sure it has the same significance here).
Another way to say this is 'At the side of the building was a shadow', but this does not have the same emotion as your original sentence.
