It does, the crew that works Iron Horse Park (aka Billerica Shops) actually works out of Lawrence because there isn't really much of a yard left in Lowell. Going down the Wildcat and running around at Anderson/Woburn is sometimes more convenient than going via Lowell to get to the Shops. So the train may look like it came from Boston but it really came from Lawrence.

This is (was?) a private venture called the Wilmington & Woburn Terminal Railway. There is a 10-page thread in this forum on it, but it died out several years ago. Most recent update I could find was
this article from November of last year.
