No. High speed rail is not allowed. Only trains from Beijing West railway station qualify. You need to fly to Hong Kong or get a visa.

Thankyou for your response Saul but I believe the high speed train to Hong Kong departs from Beijing West station

The HSR clears Mainland Chinese immigration in HK (similar to the UK's arrangement in France and Belgium where you go through UK border in a foreign country) so will not qualify. Only the slow "through train" to Hung Hom station clears Mainland Chinese immigration in Beijing West.
