Narrative:
We were holding short on runway 15 at dca. Ground control then instructed us to cross runway 15 and enter the 'hold box' for runway 19. As we moved forward across the hold short line, we noticed a twin engine propeller appearing to be on about a 1 mi final for runway 15. The captain stopped our aircraft short on runway 15 but over the hold short line. At that time the tower told us to hold short of runway 15 (apparently noticing the conflict). The twin engine plane appeared to execute a missed approach. Then ground control 'reclred' us to cross runway 15 to the 'hold box.'

Title: AN MD88 FLC STOPS THEIR ACFT JUST OVER THE HOLD LINE WHEN THE CAPT SEES AN ACFT ON SHORT FINAL FOR THE RWY THAT THEY HAD BEEN CLRED TO CROSS BY GND CTLR AT DCA, DC.
Narrative: WE WERE HOLDING SHORT ON RWY 15 AT DCA. GND CTL THEN INSTRUCTED US TO CROSS RWY 15 AND ENTER THE 'HOLD BOX' FOR RWY 19. AS WE MOVED FORWARD ACROSS THE HOLD SHORT LINE, WE NOTICED A TWIN ENG PROP APPEARING TO BE ON ABOUT A 1 MI FINAL FOR RWY 15. THE CAPT STOPPED OUR ACFT SHORT ON RWY 15 BUT OVER THE HOLD SHORT LINE. AT THAT TIME THE TWR TOLD US TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 15 (APPARENTLY NOTICING THE CONFLICT). THE TWIN ENG PLANE APPEARED TO EXECUTE A MISSED APCH. THEN GND CTL 'RECLRED' US TO CROSS RWY 15 TO THE 'HOLD BOX.'
