Narrative:

The before takeoff checklist, to the line, was completed. Flight was cleared onto runway 28 'position and hold.' I acknowledged abc position and hold. The before takeoff checklist items below the line were completed. We positioned onto runway 28 and set the brakes to hold. Tower transmitted abc 'cleared for takeoff.' I acknowledged that abc was cleared for takeoff. On takeoff roll, I noticed a 727 rolling left to right on runway 33L. No conflict existed. The 727 was rolling through our runway 28. The takeoff was continued without incident.
