if they are chaining them bandwidth will add up, and depending on the switching equipment they could be doing a large ring of some sort. it would be pretty easy to calculate since cameras are a pretty even throughput.
Looks like a air fiber 24 which is only 1.5Gbps throughput, 8-24mbps per camera would mean between 60-200 cameras, which for a state transportation department wouldn't be unreasonable, especially they are using these for something else, like interconnects between buildings for a metro-lan scenario.
