Narrative:

Given instruction upon landing on runway 26R at atl, to taxi to B6 and cross runway 26L. We had to pass B4 to get to B6. Controller stated we passed B4 and now to hold short of runway 26L at B6. We complied. We sat there for about 5 mins. Several aircraft departed runway 26L. There was two tower frequencys in use. We were finally given instructions to cross runway 26L at B6. Another aircraft was in position on runway 26L, but the controller never stated this. I saw him, but he appeared to be holding. I started forward. A blocked transmission occurred next. Then air carrier X stop was heard. I stopped halfway across the hold short line. The first officer informed ATC of this. No further instructions were given. The aircraft in position was accelerating down the runway. It took off about 80-100 ft away from us. Then the controller reclred us to cross runway 26L. Causes: 2 tower frequencys, failure to be given or request status of aircraft at the end of the runway in position, high traffic/volume airport.
