Narrative:
On sep/xa/99 I had to taxi a B727-200 series aircraft. The tail number was xyz. From gate xx to the hangar, I got clearance like I was supposed to, from pushback at gate xx. Then ground tower said to proceed and hold short of taxiway Y. Then left turn on taxiway Y to runway 31R and cross runway 4R and follow company aircraft in front of me. Then tower said to follow company aircraft to taxiway north and to hangar. While I was crossing runway 4L behind company aircraft, tower said I should have held short of runway 4L, which I thought tower said to follow company aircraft to parking at hangar.
