I’m currently on a high speed train between France and Switzerland and wondering how my cell phone is able to keep up with my very rapidly changing position and generally keep data connectivity?

Travelling very fast is a very relative concept.
You are travelling at a mere 300 kilometer per hour. The radio waves that your phone uses to keep up communications, go 300 000 km. Per second that is. The difference in so huge that you going 300kph has no real impact on the actual radio communication.
What IS a problem is that you will be switching cell towers a lot going that fast, but even that is not a big problem at just a mere 300kph.
