Narrative:

We received clearance from ground control to taxi to runway 1 from the terminal. I taxied from the ramp and entered taxiway C, then I realized that taxiway C goes directly to runway 1. As soon as I saw the threshold, I stepped on the brakes. Maybe the nose of the aircraft went over the line by a couple of ft. My first officer immediately notified ground control. The controller told us to continue on runway 1, then make a left turn and exit on the first left to join taxiway a to runway 1. The controller never told us anything else. Contributing factors: failure of the captain to verify from his charts that taxiway C was the wrong taxiway despite first officer's directions to take taxiway C.
