説明が少し難しいです。
列車と電車と新幹線の違い
列車→線路を走る車両(der Wagen, der fährt auf dem Bahnglleis)
電車→列車の中の1つ(電車 gehört dem Wagen)
新幹線→とても速く走る乗り物(新幹線 ist das Fahrzeug, das fährt in hohem Tempo)
特急と急行の違い
特急=特別急行列車(とても速い列車)
急行=急行列車(速い列車)
特急 ist schneller als 急行.

少し違います。
市電は電車の1つです。
“電車” is a general term.
市電 is one of 電車.
Japanese people call 市電 路面電車(trolley).

Is it ICE?
If so, you can say “I’m travelling with the high-speed rail called ICE. It’s kind of like Shinkansen.”
In japanese
“私はICEと呼(よ)ばれる高速鉄道(こうそくてつどう)で旅行(りょこう)しています。ICEは新幹線のような乗り物です。”

Basically I'm about to create an Anki-card for 列車 which is translated as "Zug" (German) and "train" (English) in dictionaries.
I already have an Anki card for "Zug" / "train" set up, using 電車. And now I'm confused about 列車.

Probably I think there is no word for 列車 in English and German.
This is means of 電車 and 列車written in japanase dictionery(and I translate them.)
電車 is a general term of rail vehicle which have electric mortor and run on the track.
列車 is rail vehicle for conveying passengers and freights.
Most Japanese distinguish unclearly between 電車 and 列車 but they use 電車 in common. When we say “freight train”, we use 列車. (Freight train = 貨物列車)
