Why are you assuming that this manufacturing plant is SOLELY to build trains for the NV - CA route and no one else? 
Brightline itself apparently selected that company and site.
And since 1/3rd of the U.S. population lives on the East Coast and has the highest density of rail-related public transit (e.g., subways/elevated lines, light rail/trolleys, commuter trains, and of course Amtrak's attempt at "high speed" - Acela), then it makes sense to have these types of facilities "closer" to where the MAJORITY of their products might be deployed in the future.
