Hugo, unfortunately, this is not possible. Here we have to problematic details. The first one is that the exit by train from Hong Kong toward mainland China is not eligible way of entry into mainland China (the other way/direction it is fine) and you also cannot return to the same entity from where you have departed toward mainland China from. Also, Guangzhou does not have any kind of visa on arrival. My suggestion for you would be to take a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau and then from Macau to Shekou in Shenzhen. When you arrive there, you will apply for 240 hour visa free transit. Even before your departure toward Macau you will buy y train ticket from Guangzhou to Hong Kong and have that booking confirmation printed out. Also, keep in mind that your stay within mainland China has exceed 24 hours for at least 1 minute in order to be eligible for this 240 hour visa free transit scheme. So, when you arrive in Shekou you will present your train ticket and tell them that you are in a transit from Macau to Hong Kong via mainland China using 240 hour visa free transit scheme and you will present your train ticket from Guangzhou to West Kowloon station in Hong Kong. After that, you will get a temporary entry permit and you will continue your journey unobstructed and without a visa to Guangzhou. After your stay in Guangzhou, you will take exactly that train you have bought your ticket for and head to Hong Kong. You should just take care that between your scheduled arrival to Shekou and your scheduled departure from Guangzhou there should be at least 1 minute more than 24 hours. I wish you a pleasant visit to Guangzhou.
