There is no direct high speed railway. However, you can take a bullet train from Kunming to Chongqing, Chengdu, or Xi'an first and then transfer to Urumqi by a normal speed train. As the total travel time is still super long and it is generally over at least 35 hours, so a direct flight is more recommended.
