Save a cat:
$ tr -d '\r' < <file>
or, if you might have other "\r"s in the file,
$ sed -e 's/\r$//' <file>
Actually, just running something through sed seems to do it for me on a
bin mount (though maybe this is just the same as running something
through gawk).
$ echo xxxY | tr Y \\r | od -c
0000000 x x x \r \n
0000005
$ echo xxxY | tr Y \\r | sed -e 's/asdf/asdf/' | od -c
0000000 x x x \n
0000004
