I have enjoyed conversations with several Australian travelers over dinner or lunch. Last Summer, I ate with many brand new inexperienced Amtrak travelers, who I was able to help make their journey better and hopefully ride again. I find I am alone at breakfast many times, since I enter when it opens. I enjoy breakfast with the rising sun.

Ditto - love breakfast at sunrise in the dining car. Often get to have at least a first cup of java alone with the sun. I've met several Australians, too - fun chatting with them. Most of the time folks at my tables have been decent, sometimes fun, occasionally really enjoyable, and (rarely) to be avoided at the next meal.
