One thing is clear: An in-depth study examining the feasibility and financing of a new commuter rail line won’t be completed for about two years, giving both sides a temporary breather to marshal their facts and arguments, pro and con, for the project. Backers of the project think they have a win-

Boosters say the line could possibly extend to Concord in the future.
