I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting this error. I'd appreciate some help. Here is the file: https://a360.co/2xjb2v3

It's better to export your file, then attach it to the thread than posting a link.  The link requires multiple steps to download. (File/Export/Archive file *.f3d)

 

Use the Project/Intersect command to project the rail to each of the sketches in order to verify intersection.

It looks a lot like a piece I just finished:

How are you going to make this?

😁  It's a lot of fun to explore shapes I can create on my rose engine.

Here's the whiskey bottle using different lofts. The rails were recreated using control point splines.

 

Here's just the top and bottom profiles.

This one is with the two top profiles and the bottom profile:

And finally with all four profiles.  Note. The sizes of the two inner profiles were adjusted slightly to intersect with the rails.

I actually like the OP's original shape best:
