Yes, you can ride in the cabs of two of the Disneyland engines. I have
done so. I think #1 is one of those. The issue is that the engine must
have a seat on the front bulkhead of the tender, which is where you
will sit. You could hold a very small child, too. I rode around three
times with the crew, had a nice chat about steam locos, and managed to
distract the fireman enough that he forgot to turn down the injector
and overfilled the boiler (not seriously, though...). Just aks the
conductor for the cab ride if you see the jump seat on the tender. I
don't know the names of the locos. Someone else will certainly fill
you in on the two that were used when Disney bought them. Check the
loco list posted in rec.railroad and you'dd find out which ones they
were. 

As a parent chaperone with a high school marching band, I have been to
Disneyland more times than I care about, so discovering the cab ride
made the last visit great. They don't seem to care how long you sit
there, unless, of course, someone else is waiting for the spot.
