Narrative:

We were cleared to taxi to runway 6, and follow an air carrier light transport. Crossed first hold line with other hold lines in view at end of runway, upon reaching end of taxiway, we realized that the last hold line had been blacked out. I feel like these lines should be removed, not painted over.
