Default joining railway sleepers

What is the name of the giant staple shaped thing you can hammer into
adjacent timber baulks to keep them from spreading apart? Basically a
bar pointed at both ends, and bent 90 degrees at both ends to form the
staple shape, which is then hammered in across the join? I thought
that they were called timber cramps, but googling fails to find them.
