I have noticed that the threesome always choose that last car of the train if they have a chance.  Perhaps that witch who pushes the cart told Dumbledore this, and he placed Lupin in that particular car, knowing that's where they'd end up?

  I somewhat think that the situation was as follows: Lupin was on the 
  train to get there (maybe he cannot apparate either, or if there was
  a full moon recently, was too tired, as has been said); is certainly
  too poor to afford a broom due to his difficulty holding a job; picked
  that compartment of that car because he thought he was most likely to 
  get some rest there.  Harry & Co. wound up in that compartment & that 
  car for logical reasons (for one thing it makes the Slytherins have
  to 
  search the whole train, if they decide to drop in!). The fact that RL 
  was there was useful for Harry & Co. both in terms of driving away
  the 'Slytherin Slugs' AND when the Dementor came aboard, has much to
  do 
  with the fact that authors like to have good things happen sometimes 
  (especially when they advance the plot).  But something Diane Duane 
  suggested in her writing also comes to my mind- sometimes the 'Forces 
  of Light' intervene in very subtle ways, arranging a good meeting or
  a fortunate coincidence because they foresee that such events will be 
  useful in the future and will help the people on the Light side to 
  advanc and grow.  "There are no coincidences" - it happened that way 
  because the Universe  (or the Forces of Light) *wanted* it to happen 
  that way.
