Narrative:

I was involved in an aircraft swap between the terminal and the hangar. I was taxiing a B757, radio call sign aircraft 123 from the terminal to the hangar. At the same time another company jet, a B767, call sign aircraft 123 was relocating from the hangar en route to the gate yx. After pushing from gate yx on to taxiway a, we were cleared to taxi via txwys a, D and then ordered to hold short of runway 28L. At the same time our company jet aircraft 123 was approaching runway 28R from either taxiway K or taxiway east. The tower told aircraft 123 to hold short of runway 28R. I was unsure if the tower had given us instructions to hold short of runway 28L or runway 28R. As we slowly approached 28L I noticed a jet completing a landing run on runway 28R. Shortly after, the tower ordered aircraft 123 to hold short of runway 28R. I assumed (mistakenly) the hold short order for us was intended for runway 28R. Seeing no aircraft or inbound traffic on runway 28L, I slowly proceeded across runway 28L and stopped short of runway 28R. It was then the tower informed us that we had crossed runway 28L without clearance. The remainder of the taxi to hangar proceeded without incident.

Narrative: I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACFT SWAP BTWN THE TERMINAL AND THE HANGAR. I WAS TAXIING A B757, RADIO CALL SIGN ACFT 123 FROM THE TERMINAL TO THE HANGAR. AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER COMPANY JET, A B767, CALL SIGN ACFT 123 WAS RELOCATING FROM THE HANGAR ENRTE TO THE GATE YX. AFTER PUSHING FROM GATE YX ON TO TXWY A, WE WERE CLRED TO TAXI VIA TXWYS A, D AND THEN ORDERED TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 28L. AT THE SAME TIME OUR COMPANY JET ACFT 123 WAS APCHING RWY 28R FROM EITHER TXWY K OR TXWY E. THE TWR TOLD ACFT 123 TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 28R. I WAS UNSURE IF THE TWR HAD GIVEN US INSTRUCTIONS TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 28L OR RWY 28R. AS WE SLOWLY APCHED 28L I NOTICED A JET COMPLETING A LNDG RUN ON RWY 28R. SHORTLY AFTER, THE TWR ORDERED ACFT 123 TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 28R. I ASSUMED (MISTAKENLY) THE HOLD SHORT ORDER FOR US WAS INTENDED FOR RWY 28R. SEEING NO ACFT OR INBOUND TFC ON RWY 28L, I SLOWLY PROCEEDED ACROSS RWY 28L AND STOPPED SHORT OF RWY 28R. IT WAS THEN THE TWR INFORMED US THAT WE HAD CROSSED RWY 28L WITHOUT CLRNC.
