Monica, your itinerary is definitely eligible for 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Also, while you are in Shanghai you can visit Beijing without any doubt. You can take a train or fly if you want on that route. There are several details I would like to emphasize:
1. Your flight from Shanghai (or Beijing) to US is not allowed to have a landing in Hong Kong of any kind.
2. Beside the train from Hong Kong West Kowloon station to Shanghai you can also fly between the two cities if you want.
3. It is important to use correct terminology because this is not 240 transit visa, but 240 hour visa free transit, so there is no visa of any kind at all. It is important to use correct terminology in order to avoid any misunderstandings.
Have a nice visit to China.
