Narrative:

On taxi out to runway 28 at bwi we taxied just beyond the hold short line. The line is several hundred ft from runway. The airplane only crossed by a few ft and safety of flight was never jeopardized. The captain smoothly turned aircraft to repos short of hold line. The tower never queried us and the rest of flight was uneventful. Contributing factors: water on taxiway, and the large space between the runway signs and width of taxiway.
