Narrative:

Taxiing to runway 28R bil for takeoff. Tower told us to hold short of runway for landing traffic. My attention was distracted when I approached the hold line by looking for the aircraft on approach. Taxied past the hold line and stopped about 30 ft past. There was no conflict with the landing traffic. Normal departure. No one commented.
