Transit station in Woburn, Massachusetts, US

Anderson Regional Transportation Center (RTC) (noted on MBTA schedules and maps as Anderson/Woburn, and on Amtrak schedules and maps as Woburn–Anderson) is a train and bus station located at 100 Atlantic Avenue, off Commerce Way, in Woburn, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. It can be accessed from Exit 30 off Interstate 93 or Exit 54 (Washington Street) from southbound Interstate 95/Route 128. It opened on April 28, 2001, replacing nearby as Woburn's main Amtrak and MBTA station. It was named in memory of James R. "Jimmy" Anderson (1968–1981), whose death led to the Woburn Wells court case (Anderson v. Cryovac) chronicled in the book, and film, A Civil Action.

A station at South Wilmington was open until June 14, 1959. The station and the surrounding commercial industrial area was redeveloped from the Industri Plex Superfund site. The site is a former chemical and glue manufacturing facility. Industri Plex was used for manufacturing chemicals such as lead arsenic insecticides, acetic acid, and sulfuric acid for local textile, leather, and paper manufacturing industries from 1853 to 1931. Chemicals manufactured by other industries at the site include phenol, benzene, and toluene. Industri Plex was also used to manufacture glue from raw animal hide and chrome tanned hide wastes from 1934 to 1969. The by products and residues from these industries caused the soils within the site to become contaminated with elevated levels of metals, such as arsenic, lead, and chrome. During the 1970s, the site was redeveloped for industrial use. Excavations uncovered and mixed industrial by products and wastes accumulated over 130 years. During this period, residues from animal hide wastes used in the manufacture of glue were relocated on site from buried pits to piles near swampy areas on the property. Many of the animal hide piles and lagoons on site were leaching toxic metals into the environment. In the 1980s, the site contained streams and ponds, a warehouse and office buildings, remnant manufacturing buildings, and hide waste deposits buried on the site. The site was cleaned up using the capping technique, in which an impermeable layer seals the top of the hazardous waste site, preventing further pollution. The station was originally to be called MetroNorth Center after the surrounding development. A groundbreaking ceremony for the station was held in April 2000. In October 2006, the MBTA added four short turn round trips that terminated at Anderson RTC. By 2012, the parking lot was still underused. From September 9 to November 5, 2023, all outer Haverhill Line service was routed over the Wildcat Branch during signal work on the inner part of the Haverhill Line. The diverted trains stopped at Anderson/Woburn, with connecting shuttle buses operating to
In June 2022, the MBTA indicated it was considering improvements to a siding in Woburn, which would allow 30 minute headways between Boston and Anderson/Woburn by 2024.

Massport operates Logan Express bus service from the station directly to Logan Airport terminals, with service on hourly or half hourly headways except late at night. Logan Express service moved from Mishawum to Anderson RTC on April 8, 2001, three weeks ahead of rail service. The move doubled Logan Express parking available in Woburn from 450 spaces to 900. Several other connecting services have previously been run. Beginning in June 2005, the Route 128 Business Council ran a "Metro North Shuttle" from the station to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and a business center in Woburn. The service was discontinued in July 2006 due to poor ridership and a loss of state funding. There are separate parking lots for overnight parking and for commuter rail (day only) parking. The overnight lot is intended for airport and Amtrak customers and is more expensive. The Massport lot has 875 spaces and the MBTA lot has 1,500 spaces.
