Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

filename = "E:\\Temp\\newline_test.csv"
import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.DataFrame({"A":["test","te\nst"]})
df1.to_csv(filename,index=False)
df2 = pd.read_csv(filename)
print(df1)
print(df2)

Problem description

Take a dataframe that has a \n-newline character in a field:

        A
0    test
1  te\nst

Save it normally on Windows 10.

After reloading the \n has been converted to \r\n:

          A
0      test
1  te\r\nst

Output of pd.show_versions()
