Narrative:

Due to taxiway construction, there is just 1 line going to both runway 9L and runway 12. Once at the front of the line, we thought we were cleared into position and hold for runway 9L. A B757 was in position on runway 12. There was many runway changes going on with heavy WX at the airport, so as we approached runway 9L, we called tower to verify position and hold on runway 9L. Tower said to expect runway 12 and to hold present position. I immediately stopped, but we believe the nose may have crossed over the newly painted displaced hold short line by maybe a few ft. Tower then cleared the runway 12 B757, then us, into position on runway 12.

Title: AN A300 FLT CREW INADVERTENTLY PENETRATED THE RWY HOLD LINE.

Narrative: DUE TO TXWY CONSTRUCTION, THERE IS JUST 1 LINE GOING TO BOTH RWY 9L AND RWY 12. ONCE AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE, WE THOUGHT WE WERE CLRED INTO POS AND HOLD FOR RWY 9L. A B757 WAS IN POS ON RWY 12. THERE WAS MANY RWY CHANGES GOING ON WITH HVY WX AT THE ARPT, SO AS WE APCHED RWY 9L, WE CALLED TWR TO VERIFY POS AND HOLD ON RWY 9L. TWR SAID TO EXPECT RWY 12 AND TO HOLD PRESENT POS. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, BUT WE BELIEVE THE NOSE MAY HAVE CROSSED OVER THE NEWLY PAINTED DISPLACED HOLD SHORT LINE BY MAYBE A FEW FT. TWR THEN CLRED THE RWY 12 B757, THEN US, INTO POS ON RWY 12.
