Unfortunately not because you have bought a wrong train ticket. You have bought a high speed train ticket from West Kowloon to Beijing South and that is not allowed. The only eligible train for Hong Kong to Beijing route is a conventional through train departing from Hong Kong Hung Hom to Beijing West railway station. In other words, you will have to cancel your train ticket and purchase a new one on a conventional train or to use a plane, but it has to be a nonstop one.

If you do as mentioned, you will be eligible for 144 hour visa free transit in Beijing area. By the way, 72 hours visa free transit has been replaced in Beijing by 144 hour visa free transit a couple of years ago.
