Narrative:
We had cleared the runway and were given clearance to taxi to parking. Landed runway 33L and were taxiing to cargo spot ab -- just beyond taxiway J on taxiway a. We were taxiing on taxiway P and missed turn to taxiway just prior to runway 4/22. We were on runway 4/22 before we realized it. No other aircraft were involved and ground control said nothing. Suspect the turn from taxiway P to taxiway P just before runway 4/22 is not marked very well. Also do not remember lights or hold short lines so they may have been out or faded. Corrective action suggested: look at this intersection at night from cockpit level. Rebrief pilots that these events can and do happen. Keep heads up till in chocks.
