In the dark, all lit runways look similar. Especially from the low height of a CRJ cockpit. This was an easy mistake to make. Made even easier by the unfamiliar taxiiway changes in force at the time.

Personally, I always bug the expected drift hdg on the PFD during the turnaround checks.

Mind you, if i was as tired as these guys probably were............
