Narrative:

We were taxiing out to runway 24 from terminal. Our clearance was taxi via taxiway east hold short of runway 15R. I turned the corner on taxiway east and saw the runway 10/28 sign, but there was no runway 15R/33L sign. I taxied onto runway 28, I realized at the same time the ground controller advised 'hold position' that I was also on runway 15R. Holding with my nose close to or just over the edge of runway 15R, a bi-plane was on short final for runway 15R. He landed and we were cleared across. I was flying an IOE trip. I was receiving instruction from another captain as I transitioned from B737-300 to the B737- 200. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this reporter said that he did not see any sign for runway 15R/33L as he entered the intersection. He said that the visibility was good and that he was looking for the signs. He has not operated at isp very often. This analyst asked if he saw a sign for runway 33L and the reporter said no. He also stated that he did reference the commercial airport plan view drawing, but did not realize until too late that the runways and taxiway east intersect at the same point.
