Narrative:

While taxiing from gate xx via V1 and victor, we were given taxi instructions which we thought were for runway 28L. As we approached runway 28L at victor, which is at the west departure end of runway 28L, we noticed a fokker F-100 crossing runway 28L at the same time as us (we crossed at victor, he crossed at tango). We then made a left on charley. At this time ground called us and said we were supposed to taxi to runway 28L. We were then given instruction for runway 28L at intersection juliet. There was no aircraft on final for runway 28L, as I mentioned another aircraft crossed with us. Unfortunately, from the time we pushed off the gate to most of the way to the active runway, the first officer's head is down working with the computer. This doesn't allow for the first officer to be much help with taxi operations. We received our weight and balance information after we pushed, which is usually when we receive it.

Title: FLC CROSSES WRONG RWY WHILE TAXIING TO WRONG RWY.

Narrative: WHILE TAXIING FROM GATE XX VIA V1 AND VICTOR, WE WERE GIVEN TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WHICH WE THOUGHT WERE FOR RWY 28L. AS WE APCHED RWY 28L AT VICTOR, WHICH IS AT THE W DEP END OF RWY 28L, WE NOTICED A FOKKER F-100 XING RWY 28L AT THE SAME TIME AS US (WE CROSSED AT VICTOR, HE CROSSED AT TANGO). WE THEN MADE A L ON CHARLEY. AT THIS TIME GND CALLED US AND SAID WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAXI TO RWY 28L. WE WERE THEN GIVEN INSTRUCTION FOR RWY 28L AT INTXN JULIET. THERE WAS NO ACFT ON FINAL FOR RWY 28L, AS I MENTIONED ANOTHER ACFT CROSSED WITH US. UNFORTUNATELY, FROM THE TIME WE PUSHED OFF THE GATE TO MOST OF THE WAY TO THE ACTIVE RWY, THE FO'S HEAD IS DOWN WORKING WITH THE COMPUTER. THIS DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE FO TO BE MUCH HELP WITH TAXI OPS. WE RECEIVED OUR WT AND BAL INFO AFTER WE PUSHED, WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN WE RECEIVE IT.
