You can’t take high speed rail. Only the slow train qualifies. You must also have your confirmed rail ticket in your hand when you check in for your flight to China.

I will just add a few details that will make your itinerary doable:

- You can use only Guangzhou East railway station and depart from there to Hong Kong Hung Hom railway station using Guangzhou–Kowloon through train.
- As Saul has already mentioned, you need your ticket obtained in advance and this website is ideal for something like this. You can use it to book this train and you will receive an e-confirmation on your email. You will print out the mentioned e-confirmation and use it as a proof for your transit in Guangdong province.
- During the booking process, you will see that you need an address in Guangzhou where your ticket will be delivered, so you are supposed to have a booking for some accommodation in advance for at least one night to be able to receive this ticket.
- Upon your arrival in Guangzhou, you will again present this e-confirmation and after that you will get a sticker in your passport and you will be allowed to exit the airport.

You should keep the mentioned e-confirmation until you clear mainland Chinese immigration at Guangzhou East railway station.

One more detail... This is 144 hour visa free transit and not 144h visa. You should use correct terminology to avoid any possible misunderstandings.
